they aren't the best quality as far as arcade parts go, but for a full 2 player setup, x-arcade has a decent deal if you like black:

OK, don't do the X-Arcade. Just don't. The controls are not very good at all, and the boxes are pretty bland a boring. You should really check out akihabarashop.com to find some controls and www.byrdo.org for some good inspiration for building your own. I built mine for under $50, and it's amazing. No crappy controls, and some really awesome and unique styling!

Yes, I had a friend who got an X-Arcade and only after a few weeks he broke his buttons on his setup because they are low quality cheap-ola buttons. I replaced them with some very nice Sanwa buttons after doing a little modding to the panel, and those ones have stood up to the constant beating they are expected to take.
