Anyone know what the dimensions of this beast are? If you break it up in the two pieces? I can't seem to find the info anywhere.

No clue what the dimensions are but I've moved a couple of them before. It actually breaks down into 3 pieces. The front control panel pedestal, the back cabinet and one of the monitors. There are two monitors in the cabinet. One is mounted inside the cabinet and the image is reversed and reflected onto a mirror. The second monitor is mounted on the back of the cabinet. If you've seen the back, you'll see a cover that encloses the CRT sticking out. This monitor removes so that you can fit the cabinet through doors.

Three pieces? So is the frontside panel all one piece, and then the back side (monitor side) two pieces? Maybe I can fit this sucker in my house somehow after all?

As 3xChaos says the cab breaks into 3 pieces. The control panel section is attached to the main cabinet section with 2 hinges. You have to unbolt the hinges and then the control panel piece will be seperated from the main unit (there's 3 quick disconnect plugs to unplug but that's no biggie). The right side monitor hangs off the back of the machine and can be unbolted from the back for fairly easy removal (just make sure to unhook your ground, power, and video wiring from it first). The biggest problem you will run into is getting that big section of cabinet where the monitors go to fit through a doorway. Assuming you're taking it in facing sideways, the doorway needs to be at least 32 inches wide for it to fit. If you have that you're good to go. I don't quite have that much room so my 6 player is stuck in the garage for now. :( With winter approaching, I'm looking for anyway to get it inside even if it's just broke in to the 2 big sections for storage. Good luck with yours. Bring lots of friends/family to help you move it. It's damn well worth it in the end. :mr_t: Here's a pic I took of mine when I first go it. Note the right side monitor that hangs off the back wasn't hooked up when I took the pic.

Okay, I'm glad somebody has a decent picture of this beast. I have to warn you that even if the main section will fit through the door sideways, you still have other issues. The problem with the X-Men cabinet is that the main section is really long. Normally, I use an appliance dolly with a third wheel to move big games. The problem with the X-men cabinet is that if you were to try to tilt this back and counterbalance it on a dolly, the length of the cabinet would practically hit the ceiling. Basically you have to muscle it in pushing it or find a low furniture dolly to roll it in.
