At first I was going to go with the Sidewinder but after getting my I-Pac, I decided it is the way to go. They are so much easier. No soldering, no worring about a cold solder or solder break. The first cp I made I used a cheap joystick and it worked great but it was a pain in the ass compared to the i-pac. I just personally think the i-pac is the way to go. I'm not saying the Sidewinder won't work. Although, on 2 of my 5 computers I can't really get the sidewinder to work all the time. It will find it some of the time but not all. I would try one before I get 4. Good luck.

: Splendid... The Sidewinder thing sounds doable. Any guides you or examples you can point me to? I have no problem soldering and wiring electronics, but the I-PAC interface seemed so elegant and it's gotten rave reviews here.
: : My apologies :)
: : The original Sidewinders come with a joystick port on them so yes, you daisy chain up to 4 of them together, no need to buy extra PCI cards or anything like that.
