ARCade by DIY Engineering
Handcrafted, in Winter Garden, Florida.
The ARCade is a curved-screen arcade machine built from solid oak, laminated wood, cast acrylic and precision CNC-machined components. Every unit is assembled by hand by a single engineer. There are no factories, no assembly lines, and no shortcuts.
At the center is a 27" 1000R curved display, the same radius as a professional gaming monitor, running at QHD resolution with 180Hz refresh and 1ms response. Tate-mode classics look the way they were meant to. Horizontal games run in their native aspect ratio with bezel fill. It is not a TV. It is not a repurposed monitor. It is a purpose-built display in a purpose-built cabinet.
The display angle adjusts. A built-in motorized mechanism lets you dial in the exact tilt you want — seated, standing, or anywhere between. No tools. No levers. One button.
