How wide is your stand-up cab?

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 fix through your doors.

I subtracted 2 or 3 inches from the size of the smallest door on the way to the basement.

Is it 1 player or 2 player?
Is it going in an old school Pacman style cab, a 90's Mortal Kombat style cab, or a modern slim LCD cab?
600m is about standard for old school 1 player. Some people squeeze 2 players into that space if they have an old school cab.
On the old cabs, the CP needs to fit between the sides to look right.
If it's a MK style cab with sides that overhang, my preference is to have the CP overhang 1-2" past the edges of the cab.
As a reference for 2 player setups, the x-arcade tankstick is comfortable for 2 players and is around 730mm.
My personal slim lcd cab is crazy wide to allow for the rotating 27" widescreen monitor. The cab is 32" wide and the CP is 34" wide.
I think it would look better about 4" less, but it's as wide as it needs to be to accommodate the monitor rotating.

Mine is 28 1/2 inches (724mm-ish.) That's for a 32" widescreen LCD television.

I was wrong
Half an inch.
Measured just now. The basement door was 29". The cab is 28.5" The monitor is a 22" LCD. I could put in the 24" LCD. TBH I don't know why I haven't, other than the reason I want a vert. :blah blah
ChanceKJ:
Flynn's is 33.5" across for the cab. Can't remember the CP top exact width.
