Hi!
I'm looking for a good Arcade Stick, compatible with PC, and, but not necessarily, with XBOX360.
I'm in Europe, Italy, so I'm looking for a good online store that ships to Europe at good prices.
I would like not to spend above 80USD, can you give me some advices?
Thank you!

Ciao Attila.
For a "good" control panel, I think it's quite hard to find for as low as $80.
I think you should just google around and check out what Hori has to offer. You will surely find a shop that ships to Italy, or heck, I'm 99.99% sure there are shops in Italy that sell Hori's control panels. From there you can always decide if you want to replace parts to your liking.
The other way would be to build one on your own, or let someone else build one for you. But calculating work, wood, artwork, buttons, stick, cabling and possibly other stuff, I'd say $80 is difficult for something with good parts. Mind you, I'm in Switzerland and everything is expensive here, so maybe I'm being too pessimistic about this...

Yeah - probably looking to build yourself... However, that only cheaper unless you have the tools.
Basic sanwa/seimitsu parts (this is what good means) + a 360 controller to hack up are probably about == $65 already ...
Maybe hit up ebay see if someone sells custom sanwa/seimitsu sticks for less in your own country - might be a solution if shipping normally kills the price on imports.
Personally I would go custom sticks, if sf tournament and/or hori -SA -SE sticks are not an option.
The other option is a sanwa/seimitsu ps2 stick with adapters for pc + 360...?
