Don't you hate it when your new racing cabinet is too big for the door :)

Picked up my Outrun 2 today.  Exactly 1" bigger than my door frame... so it's in the garage.  So my question to others who have faced this problem - should I take the time to disassemble the cabinet to get it inside (ala 1970s car in the living room gag) or just trade it on for something smaller?  One of my cranes got upstairs in pieces, so it's not something new to me.  Just fishing for opinions.  Since it was 90 degrees today, I waited until it cooled down so I could get some game time in tonight in the garage.  Not as much fun as my game room, but still pretty damn fun!

Depends upon which cabinet you have, but the Outrun 2 cabs have these plastic parts on the sides... they don't serve any structural purpose so you should be able to take those off and make it easy.

did you get http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/vgm/3775242327.html if you did, thank god, because i almost overdrafted my account and put off some bills to get this one.

DLinkOZ:
Actually, that's mine, the game in question.  Testing the waters, if someone comes up with a good deal then it makes my mind up for me :)  I'm so on the fence right now - I have another cockpit racing game, so I don't *need* this one.  But I really do like it, spent the evening in my garage playing instead of in the house in the proper game room.  One of those moments when I'm just unsure how I want to proceed.

And this one does not have the plastic sides, that would be entirely too easy :)

I'm guessing you took the door off the frame, but how about taking a crowbar to the door jamb?  ;) Maybe that's a little dramatic, but a standard door jamb is pretty easy to to pry out and nail back in if you are careful. If you have half inch door jambs, that might be enough. I'd do that above disassembling the cab.
