Quick question fellas. What is the default width of a sit in racing cabinet? I assume it has to be able to fit through the doorway? Or are they usually sectional so you can take it apart to get it in and out of the house.....?

the ones i have seen are sectional.

How do you get them through the door?
Sideways, I assume not but just checking
-
most usually have no problem fitting through a 32 inch door.
if they won't, they are sectional and the disassembled parts will fit through a 32 inch door.

Front separates from the base.
The base goes through the door longways and the front goes through the door sideways.
Usually the dashboard has to be removed.

Thanks all. I am making plans for a sit-in cockpit type cabinet and this info is helpful.

You know what would be awesome is a racing cabinet with traditional screens and for games that are able to use it, using an oculus rift.
The cabinet I have in mind (which could be built when I return) would be a cockpit type cabinet. Where you site inside and close a hatch.
Kind of like this

But with more of a front to it and more spacious inside so you aren't cramped
After doing the math I am certain I can build it for less than $700 which is good because I want to build two so they can be networked.
If I build this (I really want to), I will go out and think about making it have modular steering controls so it can double as a flight cockpit. Some of the oculus rift cockpit simulators look badass so :cheers:
