Building a Guitar Freaks/Drum Freaks/Pop'n music arcade cabinet

[Sabrick]

Im currently building a cabinet that has a PC board on it housing emulated games (MAME and other consoles). it will also have a PS2, XBOX, and Gamecube in it.
But lately I have considered adding the "beatmania" series to my cabinet, they are extremely new and exist almost exclusivly in Japan. for those not sure of the series here is some information:

I was wondering if anyone could help me or give me some critisms towards why this can or cannot be done. so far i just think i need to purchase the Game board and run them on my monitor as well as hook up the special controls for each system on it, will that be especially difficult?

anyway, this thing is going to rock the nieghborhood, giant speaker and an auto-quality Base unit it really rock the joint. Im leaving DDR out of the machine though, don't much like that particular series.

Draw some pictures of what you want to do, and you'll get criticism.

what are you going to do about controllers for the specialty ones.  i know you can just use buttons, but with guitar freaks, you really need the exact controller.  i mean, how are you going to get a wailing bonus?  oh, and if you find somewhere to get a guitar freaks board, let me know, i'd love to tinker on that.  go ahead and get the ball rolling on this project, i know a couple people will be interested in this project if it concludes...
