How wide is your stand-up cab?

I'm in the middle of building cab and I'm wondering is 600mm wide fairly standard? I know I can obviously make it to whatever I want
to and there's no 'right' or 'wrong' way but just wondering what everyone else has built to? 600cm is feeling a bit on the small side
at the moment.

(edit .. meant mm not cm :)   )

Holy ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! 600 cm?! You must mean 600 mm. That would seem more normal. I'd make it wide enough to accommodate your screen and controls. The cabinet I designed for myself on the computer is as wide enough to accommodate my 27" widescreen monitor and no larger. If say it's around that size without checking.

that's too narrow for 4 players, and unnecessarily wide for 1 player :)

Mine is 600mm, with a 1920x1080 lcd.  I've not yet tested the SFII panel with 2 players.



mgb:

It really depends on what you want for a monitor size and how many players as well as space between.
My control panel is only slightly larger than that, it's 24" wide and I have a 27" monitor mounted vertical and two player setup with 4 buttons each and it works out well.
  What are your plans for your panel?

Minwah:

Mine is 600mm wide (plus 2x18mm sides), and has a 21" monitor.

I usually base the cabinet size on the size of the monitor...choose your monitor and make the cabinet as small as poss around it (allowing a bit of clearance of course).

Oh, and make sure it will fit through your doors.
