Title: How big is your cabinet?
Post by: Craig Pilecky on April 15, 2003, 04:34:53 am

Im just curious how big most of you have built your cabinets. Im betting that mine is one of the largest. But to accomodate a 27" TV it had to be pretty large. I assembled it in the room that its in, but if I have to I can get it through the door if I unbolt the control panel.

Height: 72.5"
Width: 28.5"
Depth: (at base 38") (at control panel 44.5")

22" Wide and 26" deep at the control panel, and 61" tall (Artic Mini cab).

I am not really into really big cabinets, as it is hard to follow all the action on a large screen. Like those new 25" monitor Ms Pac/Galaga machines. I gotta kind of stand back from the thing to see the whole screen. I prefer the 19" monitor ones. If you really want some high scores, try a cocktail, or mini of some kind that uses a 13" monitor. Very easy to see everything at once.

My current design has the
Height: 198cm (78")
Width: 85cm (33.5") (cabinet only - 4-p panel is much wider)
Depth: 105cm (41.3") (125cm or 49.2" with panel)

Height and depth may change slightly depending on placement of 27"TV.  Based on a Midway type cab.  This has to go through the sliding door out the back.  The height may drop if I decrease the space above the tv, but this would cause the tv the be angled more (keeping roughly perpendicular with my eye level) causing it to be slightly deeper.  I think I might need someone to look over my design to make sure I have the measurements and angles right.

the standard Centari cabinet is a hair under 25.5" wide for a 19" vertical monitor.

I don't remember the other dimensions.

Size wise it is based off my double dragon II cabinet.  It's a little deeper than the ddragon2 cabinet.
