Minimum space needed for arcade control console

I wanted a simple design (need it by Christmas) and have a lot of spare 36" by 22" inch pieces of wood around. (Freebies from work.) But I think I steered you the wrong way. I don't have the X-arcade controller. I have the components and I plan to customize my controller board. I am using two joysticks, 20 buttons and a board and wiring kit. But I still have to drill holes for buttons and install the controllers and such. Is that enough space? The 4 inches deep I mean. THanks.

4 inches should be plenty of depth under the control panel, though remember that's interior space, so if the control panel has a bottom like on ours, you need to allow for the thicknesses of the control panel surface and lower panel. Remember this when you work out the depth needed for the monitor (internal space from front to back).

Craig, thanks. Yea, I have 4 inches of internal space. I got the X-arcade parts today and they look like they will fit.
