Just go grab the Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2.  I have that and it works great.  Every sports game and Final Fantasy 7 works great with it without any configurating.

How do you hook up the controllers to PC :) , well I assume you need a USB adapter, but if I wanted to use my GC controllers how would I do it :)

Thats what I used. It even has directX feedback so the internal rumble pack works. Don't buy that one for $17 I got one on ebay for like $6.

A buddy of mine took a spare plastic CD drive bay cover from his PC and made a hub for four XBOX controllers.  He bought a broken XBOX off of eBay for like $15 and gutted it.  He even wired LEDs into the bay cover over each controller port, so when you plugged a controller in, it would light up.  They have PC drivers created for the original XBOX controller, but I have forgotten the site.  If I find it I'll post it for anyone that is interested.

Ok, well you can pretty much buy 3 used ones for 1 new. At least one of them has got to work. I got mine from ebay and mine works.

I bought an adapter for PS1 controllers a while ago. I am still using it. It is USB. I got it at Radio Shack. I don't know if it still works.

I should learn VLSI so I can make a multiple controller interface with memory cards that can go into a USB port. That would be sweet.
