Arcade Video Game Cabinet Sizes, Weights, And Uses

 

Hi!  Following are several of the more common arcade video game cabinet sizes, weigths, and applications.

This information can help you to determine whether a particular style cabinet will fit in your gameroom space, whether it will fit through a doorway, whether it will fit a stairway, and whether you can handle the moving job by yourself or not.

Additionally, the uses and applications information is a good primer on the subject of vertical versus horizontal games, cabinets, monitors, and multicades.  Understanding this topic will help you narrow your search for the right cabinet for the type of game machine you want.  More on this topic to follow.

 

With 300 to 400 arcade video game cabinets of various shapes, sizes, and styles always on hand, we can provide the cabinet to fit just about any need, situation, or look.

The above photo is of the portion of our shop where we keep around 100 cabinets on the ready.  Additionally, we have several other cabinet storage facilities packed full of cabinets.

 

For information and ideas about how various cabinets can be custom finished just for you, visit the Classic Cabinets Photo Gallery, or CompetitionCabinets Photo Gallery.

For help understanding the difference between a horizontal game cabinet and a vertical game cabinet visit Vertical Versus Horizontal Video Games, Arcade Cabinets, Monitors, And Multicades.

For typical home use, classic arcade video game cabinets come in three styles - upright (standard), cabaret (smaller upright), and cocktail (table top sit down).

 

Identifying a cabinet as a 19" or 25" monitor cabinet is a reference to the diagonal size of the original CRT monitor for which the cabinet was designed and built.  CRT monitors have since been replaced by LCD/LED monitors, which are available in a variety of sizes. 

We strongly encourage that you upgrade your cabinet from its original CRT monitor to a new LCD/LED monitor.  You can read all about the matter of LCD vs. CRT at Choosing The Best Monitor For Your New Multicade.
