DIY 4 player arcade pedestal builders looking to create their own custom arcade can start with a professionally pre-cut Ourcades cabinet. This blank pedestal cabinet gives you the foundation for a full four-player arcade while allowing you to install your own controls, electronics, gaming system, artwork, and accessories.

The cabinet comes pre-cut and ready for assembly with T-molding slots already incorporated into the design. You can keep the build completely DIY or select available options for control-panel drilling, custom vinyl, T-molding, and other preparation before your cabinet leaves our shop.

Build Your Own 4 Player Arcade

The DIY 4 Player Pedestal is designed for builders who want the freedom to choose their own arcade hardware and complete the final assembly themselves.

The pedestal design provides a spacious 48" × 24" control panel with a 32" cabinet design, giving you plenty of room to create a four-player control layout.

Because you're starting with a blank cabinet, you can select the controls, gaming system, wiring, artwork, and accessories that fit your project.

What's Included

Every blank DIY 4 Player Pedestal Cabinet includes:

• Professionally Pre-Cut Cabinet Panels: Precision-cut cabinet components ready for your DIY arcade project.
• 48" × 24" Control Panel Design: Provides plenty of space for four-player controls and available specialty controls.
• 32" Cabinet Design: Creates the pedestal base beneath the extended four-player control panel.
• T-Molding Slots: Cabinet edges are prepared for installation of compatible T-molding.
• Vinyl Artwork Template: A cabinet template is provided so you can design your own vinyl graphics.

Button holes, control-panel plexiglass, controls, electronics, gaming system, and other hardware are not included unless selected or purchased separately.

Optional Control Panel Drilling

Don't want to drill the control panel yourself? We can prepare the button layout before the cabinet leaves our shop.

Available four-player layouts include:

• 6 Buttons for All 4 Players
• 6/4 Button Layout: Six action buttons for Players 1 and 2 with four action buttons for Players 3 and 4
• 8/6 Button Layout: Eight action buttons for Players 1 and 2 with six action buttons for Players 3 and 4

Start and select button locations are also incorporated into the selected layout.

Trackball Mounting Options

If your build will include a trackball, we can prepare the control panel for your preferred mounting style.

Available options include:

• Top-Mount Trackball: Provides a strong and straightforward mounting method.
• Flush-Mount Trackball: Creates a cleaner finished appearance with the trackball mounting hardware installed beneath the control panel.

Choose the mounting option that best fits your planned hardware and finished appearance.

Additional Control Panel Options

Your DIY cabinet can also be prepared for additional controls, including:

• 4 Admin Buttons: Commonly used for PC-based functions such as Exit, Enter, Pause, and Settings
• Left-Side Spinner
• Right-Side Spinner
• Left-Side Flight Stick
• Right-Side Flight Stick

These options allow us to prepare the required openings before the cabinet is delivered to you.

Optional Plexiglass Control Panel Protector

An optional plexiglass protector can be added over the control panel to help protect the finished surface from scratches, spills, and everyday use.

This option is recommended when Ourcades is also drilling the control-panel holes so the plexiglass can be prepared to match your selected layout.

Optional Custom Cabinet Vinyl

Want the freedom of a DIY build without having to design and install the cabinet graphics yourself?

Our in-house designer can create custom vinyl artwork based around the theme you request. You'll receive a design sample for approval before anything is printed.

Once the design is approved, we'll print and professionally install the vinyl on your cabinet before delivery or pickup.

If you prefer to create your own graphics, the blank DIY cabinet includes the vinyl template needed to design your artwork.

Optional T-Molding

Every DIY cabinet comes prepared with T-molding slots.

You can supply and install your own compatible T-molding or select the T-molding option and tell us which color you'd like.

If you're having Ourcades install custom cabinet vinyl, having the T-molding installed at the same time can provide a more complete finished appearance.

Designed for Your DIY Arcade Project

The biggest advantage of a DIY cabinet is control over the finished build.

You decide what goes inside, including your:

• Gaming system
• Joysticks
• Buttons
• Trackball
• Specialty controls
• Wiring
• Lighting
• Audio system
• Artwork
• Additional accessories

Whether you're building a Raspberry Pi arcade, PC-powered system, or another compatible custom setup, the cabinet provides the physical foundation while leaving the electronics and final configuration up to you.

Built by Ourcades, Finished by You

Our DIY cabinets are designed for builders who want professional cabinet construction without purchasing a completely assembled arcade machine.

Start with the blank cabinet and complete the project yourself, or select available preparation and finishing options to have us handle some of the work before you receive it.

If you're ready to build your own DIY 4 player arcade pedestal, this cabinet gives you a professionally pre-cut foundation with a spacious four-player control panel and the flexibility to finish the arcade your way.
