DIY 2 Player Arcade Cabinet – Standard

Build your own compact full-height arcade with the Ourcades Standard. This professionally pre-cut DIY 2 player arcade cabinet features a narrow 24″ wide design while providing the foundation for a traditional two-player upright arcade.

  • 24″ Wide Cabinet Design
  • Two Pre-Cut 4″ Speaker Holes
  • Pre-Cut T-Molding Slots

  • Trackball Preparation With Compatible 6-Button Layout
  • Admin Button Holes
  • Plexiglass Control Panel Protector
  • Custom Designed & Installed Cabinet Vinyl

DIY 2 player arcade cabinet builders looking for a compact full-height arcade can start with the Ourcades Standard. This professionally pre-cut blank cabinet features a 24" wide cabinet design, giving you the foundation for a traditional two-player upright arcade without taking up the space of our larger Mega or Supreme cabinets.

Choose and install your own gaming system, monitor, controls, electronics, audio, artwork, lighting, and accessories to create an arcade built around your preferences.

Build Your Own 2 Player Standard Arcade

The DIY 2 Player Standard is designed for builders who want a traditional upright arcade in a narrower cabinet.

Its 24" wide design makes it the most compact of our full-height two-player DIY cabinets while still providing room for two-player joysticks and action buttons.

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

What's Included

Every blank DIY 2 Player Standard Cabinet includes:

  • Professionally Pre-Cut Cabinet Panels
  • 24" Wide Cabinet Design
  • Two Pre-Cut 4" Speaker Holes
  • Pre-Cut T-Molding Slots
  • Vinyl Artwork Template

The included vinyl template allows you to create your own graphics specifically for the cabinet.

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

Optional Control Panel Drilling

Don't want to drill the control panel yourself? Ourcades can prepare the joystick and button holes before you receive your cabinet.

Available two-player layouts include:

  • 6 Buttons for Both Players: Six action buttons for Player 1 and Player 2, plus Start and Select.
  • 8 Buttons for Both Players: Eight action buttons for Player 1 and Player 2, plus Start and Select.

Choose the layout that best fits the gaming system and controls you plan to install.

Trackball Mounting Options

A trackball can be incorporated into the 24" Standard when using the compatible control layout.

Available mounting styles include:

  • Top-Mount Trackball: Provides a strong and straightforward mounting method well suited for heavy gameplay.
  • Flush-Mount Trackball: Creates a cleaner finished appearance with the mounting hardware positioned beneath the control panel.

IMPORTANT: Because of the available control-panel space, a trackball on the 24" Standard requires the 6-button layout.

Optional Admin Buttons

Four additional admin-button holes can be added for PC-based arcade builds.

These buttons are commonly configured for functions such as:

  • Exit
  • Enter
  • Pause
  • Settings

Their final functions can be assigned based on the software and gaming system you install.

Specialty Control Compatibility

Because the Standard uses a compact 24" cabinet design, the additional left- and right-side spinner and flight-stick options offered on our 32" and larger cabinets are not available on this model.

If you want additional room for these specialty controls, consider one of our larger DIY arcade cabinet designs.

Optional Plexiglass Control Panel Protector

An optional plexiglass protector can be installed 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 your control-panel holes so the plexiglass can be prepared to match your selected layout.

Optional Custom Cabinet Vinyl

Want custom graphics without having to design and install the vinyl yourself?

Our in-house designer can create custom artwork based around your requested theme or design direction. You'll receive a design sample for approval before anything is printed.

Once approved, we'll print and professionally install the vinyl on your cabinet.

If you'd rather create and install your own artwork, the blank DIY cabinet includes the vinyl template needed to design graphics that fit the cabinet.

Optional T-Molding

Every DIY Standard cabinet comes prepared with T-molding slots.

You can provide and install your own compatible T-molding or select the T-molding option and have Ourcades provide and install it for you.

If you're having us install custom cabinet vinyl, adding T-molding installation can provide a more complete finished appearance.

Build the Arcade System You Want

Starting with a blank cabinet gives you control over the components that go into your finished arcade.

Choose your own:

  • Gaming system
  • Monitor
  • Joysticks
  • Buttons
  • Compatible trackball
  • Wiring and controllers
  • Speakers and amplifier
  • Lighting
  • Artwork
  • Additional accessories

The result is a two-player arcade configured around the games, controls, hardware, and appearance you want.

Built by Ourcades, Finished by You

Our DIY cabinets give builders professional cabinet construction without requiring the purchase of a completely assembled arcade machine.

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

If you're ready to build your own DIY 2 player arcade cabinet, the Ourcades Standard provides a compact 24" wide foundation for creating a traditional two-player upright arcade.
