Well i decided that since i make everything for customers id make one for myself this one will use my custom design that i use on my mediacades but this one will have a few upgrades.since this will be my main media center i wanna be able to use it for work and fun so here is the idea.modifiy my original design for my cabs add 2 monitors led buttons sound mods and a ton more.harware wise this thing will be a monster here is a list of what it will have.
1.the unit will be based off of a modded xbox with a mod chip and 1tbhdd with ram upgrade loaded with every xbox game plus emulators and xbmc with custom UI dash and all.
2.since the room its in is small i will add a 32inch 3d tv.
3.23inch widescreen lcd tv/monitor as the marquee/pc monitor(for work/modding)
4.Gaming PC as media hub/gaming/working
5.new appletv
6.built in dock for the new ipad
6.keyboard tray
7.modded ps3/xbox 360 jtag
i have a few other ideas but this is the basic idea of what im going for the hole system will be controlled with the ipad here are a few pics of what i did so far.still waiting on led buttons and a few other parts.

EDIT 3:
so i figured out a way to use the arcade sticks and a normal controller from the same ports with the hack in the video this was my first time trying this and it worked out great.the arcade sticks will always stay connected and when you plug in a controller it will override the arcade controls
Pad Hacking innovationEDIT 4:
side art for the legs of the cab painted and ready to be installed this is my tag team logo for wrestling.i laid them on a black background so you can get a idea for the finish product.
