SuperYo1000 United States880 Posts January 20 2011 08:07 GMT #1 The other game that I love to play right behind starcraft 2 is of course Super Street Fighter 4 on the Xbox360. About 2 months ago my arcade stick broke. Big deal? not really since SC2 is around. I build the arcade sticks as a hobby. Not too hard if you know how to work a solder iron. But it has been 2 months and I have a hankering for some dragon punches. So I got off my butt and put together a new one....but this time the theme was SC2. What do you guys think? P.S. Of course I play protoss :D

Interesting choice of American-style parts with the curved button layout (not that I think the straight is better). You just gotta use what's comfortable for you. I think the art works pretty well with the black case, stick, and buttons! You've got me curious about the box itself too. What's it made out of?

The face plate is Dibond which is like 2 sheets of aluminum sandwiching plastic composite. My work allows me to get sheets of this at 4 x 8 feet. I use oversized label paper and have a local printing press print my graphic on it. Graphic usually just splicing of artwork I have collected over the years, Old and New. All done on Adobe Photoshop. These in particular are relatively new Box is MDF wood with some corner pieces just to make it look nice. Basic Semi Gloss spray paint. All at home Depot Controller I use is usually just a broken controller off of ebay (pcb boards in the controller are 99 percent of the time working fine)
