: I am currently stuck in my electronics building part of the cabinet while I wait on a few parts so I am going to finish up my control boxes. I really want to run a few PC games which are 1st person shooters...Kingpin, Ghost Recon, etc. So I guess my question is what would make up an "ideal" 1st peson shooter setup? Has anyone done this who would like to offer me a little insight?

If I made my own FPS control panel I would attach a gamepad like its done on console video game kiosks (use the D-pad for forward, back and strafing left and right), add a keyboard and mouse and throw in some Happ pushbuttons for keyboard shortcuts. You could also use a joystick for forward/back and strafing.
