Yeah, I read the reviews on it after I posted that, sounds awful.

Not sure if I'll do this soon on second thought. That N64 USB adapter is $22, the SmartJoy SNES is about the same, and then I'd still have to pick up a Playstation USB adapter and USB hub. Not sure if I feel like spending the money on this right now, but I definitely wanna do it eventually. I just think it's awesome to have gamepad ports on a computer.

I'd suggest finding a dead 5.25" hot swap bay or a 5.25" to 3.25 bay adapter so you have a unit that's mostly hollow that fits in a slot to build everything in.

If you can't find any, I have a few. Two of them have a black ventilated grill, but I have one with no grill and I imagine it would be better to fit a blank slot cover from your PC that you're going to cut holes in anyway. If you want one let me know and I'll send it for whatever postage is.

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind.
