Competitor Comparison

How we stack up against other builds

PDX arcade cabinets are a cut above the competition.  We start with high quality materials with a focus on cabinet durability, aesthetics and high performance game controls. We design and build all of our cabinets in-house using precision CNC milling, do all our own vinyl and UV prints, and 3D print various parts. This means commerical quality and aesthetics with lower prices and faster turnaround.
