Building a customized Arcade - 2 players. xbox, MAME

Updates:)
I've been reading about this and as soon as I get your input (100% trustworthy in you guys) I will place my first order regarding building an arcade!
As far as I'm concerned, I want a cabinet where I can play MAME games AND xbox 360 games ( I will installed a xbox - not a permanent solution cause I may want to get it out/in several times ). I want to have two players.
I think the items I need are:
- http://www.ultimarc.com/ipac1.html but the ipcad 2, cause is more recent: http://www.ultimarc.com/images/ipac2_top.jpg
I think for 2 players, this is enough and I wont need the larger one ( the IPAC-4).
- 2 joysticks and 16 buttons (8x2) - don't know where to buy these from but I've been told the Sanwa JLF are the best ones around to take a punch (fighting games). To the random puzzle bobble type games is enough as well. Don't know where to buy these from, though.
- cables to connect the joystick and buttons to the Ipac
- a cool UI, gonna go with http://hyperspin-fe.com/. Don't know any other but this seems very nice and easy to use.
what do you guys think?
Thanks a bunch!

You'll need the iPac AND the xbox 360 adapter:

Or you could used hacked Xbox 360 pads on both your Xbox 360 and PC.

Oh boy...I didn't understand that. I think you already tried to explain that to me but I didn't get it - now I do:)
Well, need to find a solution then cause I really wanted to have both systems: xbox360 and the pc with mame.
I saw a really cool project of an xbox360 inside a cabinet but that was it - maybe it's not possible/recommended?

Sorry, I was mistaken with my post, reread it, I changed it. ^
I didn't realize Andy had come out with Xbox 360 adapter for the iPac.

Note that the iPac - 360 adapter doesn't have the Guide button, where a hacked pad would.
