Nova bartop arcade kit

Bartop Nova Kit

The Bartop Nova is our bartop model specifically designed for 24″ screens, built on a 10mm board with a screw assembly system. All holes come pre-drilled from the factory and the kit includes all the screws needed for assembly, making the build process straightforward and simple.

CNC precision-cut piece by piece, it includes a VESA bracket with 75 and 100 hole patterns, fixed to both side panels via angle brackets, compatible with the vast majority of monitors on the market.

We recommend pairing it with a 24″ monitor to make the most of the screen opening.

Customise your Bartop Nova

From the product configurator you can tailor the cabinet to your preferences before adding it to the cart. Below we explain each option.

Material

The cabinet is built with the material you select. All materials are 10mm thick.

• Raw MDF — MDF board with no surface finish. Included in the base price. Ideal if you plan to paint the cabinet or apply vinyl directly to the sanded and clean surface.
• White Laminated Chipboard — White laminated surface on both faces. No paint or primer needed. Vinyl adheres directly.
• Black Laminated Chipboard — Dark finish that contrasts beautifully with vivid vinyl designs. The classic arcade look.

Button hole size

Choose the diameter based on the buttons you plan to install.

• 28 mm — American standard. Compatible with American-style buttons and Lorenzo PSL-L.
• 30 mm — Japanese standard. Compatible with Japanese-style buttons, Sanwa, chrome and illuminated translucent buttons.

If you already have buttons, check the diameter before choosing. Feel free to ask us if you have any doubts.

Speakers

• No holes — The cabinet ships without speaker perforations.
• 3″ holes — Holes are drilled, no speakers included.
• 3″ holes with 10W speakers — Includes a pair of 5W speakers with amplifier, power supply and wiring.
• 3″ holes with 20W speakers — Includes a pair of 10W speakers with amplifier, power supply and wiring. More powerful sound than the 10W option.

If you select any option with holes, you can also add decorative grilles in various colours: Black, Grey, White, Gold, Silver, Chrome, Blue and Red.

Vinyl

• No — The cabinet is delivered without vinyl.
• Yes — You will access a selector with multiple designs available.

If you select vinyl, also choose the finish:

• Matte — More resistant to fingerprints and scratches.
• Gloss — More vibrant and saturated colours.

U-Molding

U-molding is the plastic edge trim applied to the board edges. It serves an aesthetic purpose and protects the cabinet edges. The Bartop Nova requires 6 metres of 10mm u-molding.

• No u-molding — If you already have some or prefer to source it separately.
• Black / White / Blue / Red / Green / Yellow / Pink — 6 metres available in various colours.
