its huge because i got a great deal for a 32" lcd lol.

atm itll only have one dual stick from x-arcade but will probably add a second one for four player games. will just be a playstation in there atm and free to play. use it for the store for boring days and for compititions.

Are you sure you're gonna be able to get it through your doors? I just moved and had no trouble with mine though the front door, but I had to take the bedroom door of the hinges to get it to fit. And even that was super close.

excellent question.  That's the reason why my control panels I make are generally less than 32 inches.  Gotta think about those doorways.

the whole cabinet isnt glued together but bolted together with tee nuts and bolts in three or four places on either side depending on length. this way it can be easily taken apart to if i need to get it into something it isn't able to roll into. this also helps for when i build the second control panel that i will build from scratch.

  the only problem i have right now is that i put the molding in before i painted and i feel i may need to replace it all.
