I've always wanted to build one, I'm confident I can do the woodwork, setup the PC etc..., but the thing I don't know about is what controls you use and how you set them up, and where to buy them from (in the UK).

I would only be looking for a simple setup - probably a single joystick, a few fire buttons and perhaps a player start button.

Anyone built their own cabinet or know anything about arcade controls on a MAME PC?
