The hardest part for me was getting a box to use. Main trouble... I didn't want to buy any wood, and didn't have the right plywood or particle board... so I used some crap wood. Works, but bigger then it had to be... Anyway.
Go get a IPac (if you only want 2 controllers) or a MK40 or MK64 if you want to one day have 4 controllers. This is only $40 or so
Next, get some joysticks and buttons. If you go to an arcade, you can sometime get a real deal if you get old extra buttons they have laying around. I got 50 buttons for 20 bucks a while ago. 10% where dead (no big deal) and I got it down to only 5 dead one after swapping parts.
Next, drill, screw, and add a few wires. The wiring is easy.
If I had access to a box to put everything in, it would have taken me 2 hours. With the box, 4 maybe.
