When I originally ordered the X-arcade, I had planned to use it only for a length of time to decide how I wished to design my own controller.  It had been years since I played any games at the arcade.  I also did not know if I would actually end up constructing the cabinet.  Sometimes we dream and never follow through, right? 

In my searches, I stumbled upon a design that used the X-arcade as the controller.  That got me thinking.  I could use this controller in a cabinet and could eventually upgrade to a creation of my own at a later date.  In addition, it had a lot of characteristics I desired so I used it as the basis of my design.  You'll notice I have made a number of modifications and enhancements.

Have a look.  He also has recently added a driving cabinet that I think is very interesting.
