I have to admit (and agree with Joe) that the HanaHo products look to be of very good quality. I personally know a couple of people that would probably be very interested in shucking out the $$ just to have an arcade cabinet in their homes. But an interesting question is: Is this the "BUILD Your Own Arcade Controls" board, or the "BUY Your Own Arcade Controls" board?
I'm certainly not implying that pre-fab cabinet and controls vendors aren't welcome here, but it just seems that lately whenever someone is proud of what they have done and they post it on the message board, someone else is quick to jump in with "Well, you could have just bought that from us!" I think that a lot of these vendors are missing the point by somewhat squashing (I'm sure unintentionally) the enthusiasm of someone who has just built their own dream machine.
This is just my $.02 here. Hope I'm not too far off base here. If so, please let me know.
