Very similar to the one I used in my setup. This one uses the keyboard port instead, they say it is better, who knows. So many possibilities.
Also only 35 bucks.

Believe me I looked at every possible arrangement once I had the panels cut. I felt the top position fit my style best. As far as the button hookup, it was actually fairly easy. Each arcade button microswitch has common (ground), a normally open, and a normally close position. The common of all switches is daisy chained and wired into the ground on the keywhiz, and then each normally open is connected to on of the inputs. I also used 6 of the 'shazaam' inputs, which run both the normal ground and the 'shazaam' ground at the same time to activate an extra set of inputs. I really wanted to get a track ball in there, but they are just too big behind the panel.
The powered USB hub is now permanently in the box, hard drives are next : )
If anyone has ideas left for the buttons, I still have 4 on each side open.
