i'm getting one of these cabinets later this week:http://www.pcarcade.tv/videomaster.php

i plan on having the cabinet upstairs - have any of you got your cabs upstairs and if so, was it a pig to get it up there?

I hear alot of people complaining about that, but i don't think it's that hard.  It's a 2 person job, but it's definately do-able.  My friend and i got a Ms Pacman cab upstairs in my house and we didn't have too much of a problem....we even had to go up a few stairs, stand the game upright, turn, and go up more stairs in a tight area and we managed.

They are heavy though, but no more so than moving a stove or a couch or something like that upstairs.  There isn't much to hang on to though, my hands kept slipping.  i used some gloves which helped....i also gripped the leg levelers, which probably wasn't a good idea, but luckily they stayed in.  Unless you're in a tight area, you should be fine...bring a strong friend though.

I had a hard time with getting one up 6 stairs with a 25" monitor inside so, I would recomend taking the monitor out if it's 25'' or larger.

You had an easy time because you moved one of the smallest full size upright arcade machines ever made. It's pretty hard.

If you're gonna move a machine up the stairs, take off the back door. It'll give you more to hold onto.

I also second the vote for removing a 25" monitor. I'd remove a 19", too, if it's not too difficult.

... or just hire paige. He makes it sound like a snap. He must be an iron man or something.
