Nice clean job. I built a standup about 10 years ago (mame) but now it has all the emu's i can find, and even some old Dos/win95 etc games that lend to an Arcade cab controler. Back when i built it they where not quite as common as they are now (google "BYOAC" for lots of homemade sticks and cabs and places to get parts). When i built mine I was a huge fan of SMASH TV (and its offspring, (and its grandfather Robotron)) so mine is set up for 4 player so 2 sticks can be used for 2 player games that require it.
Since then i have joined the ranks of couch sitters. The cab hasnt been turned on in at least 2 years I think. I built a media PC that also does double duty as a Mame/emu machine with 4 MS 360 gamepads. not as nice as "real" controls but much easier. And the frontend software out there nowdays makes running them all form a gamepad easy. but I must say for fighting games you have hte right idea, nothing can beat a stick and 6 buttons.
