Found this on digg.com, here.

I though that those of you that want to build one could use this. And those that have not tried one yet out of fear can try now that you see how easy it is.

i want to make a shooter arcade machine, with a time crisis style gun (the good kind with the sliding reciever!) possibly make it out of an old gun that is broken! or some such, with a BIG monitor or HDTV, that would rock!

yeah, their stuff is kinda expensive, though a full set of arcade controls is like $60 (14 buttons and 2 joysticks) pretty cheap i guess
