Arcade Cabinet Width
<< < (2/4) > >>
Buick455:
yeah doorways.. my panel is detachable for this reason. my house also was built with double doors or no doors, I use to deliver furniture. you would be amazed by the ways we got crap into peoples houses. The best one was a sleeper sofa into the 2nd story loft with a spiral staircase. Roof of truck -> Roof of house -> in the window  :laugh2: think we got a tip? nope
ark_ader:
I like the novel approach where arcade cabinet size is totally based on available size of location.

With the arrival of this little fellow the smaller the better so 10-12 inches still can be practical.
Fursphere:
Mine has the inside diminsions of 24" wide (inside the "sides").  I wish it was 26" so I had more room for a trackball. 

Lay out your control panel first, decide on monitor size second, then think about cabinet width.

(and don't' forget about doorways)
Yourname942:
Make sure you make it less wide than your doorway (if you ever decide to move it to a different room/house)

Also figure out the size monitor you want + how much space for the bezel. That will help you figure out how wide you want to make it.
dandro:
My cab is 26" wide based on the monitor (29" arcade), which typically means a wider control panel, just make the control panel removeable if you want it through doorways, etc.. which mine fits perfectly.
