I have bought a few.....cabs vary a fair bit but you'll be fine getting it indoors...just don't buy a Partytime Multi Player!.
Most important thing i'd say is the weight 100-130kg. Consider where you are going to put it, 3 flights of stairs would be a task for example. Prior to getting One arrange help, no way can you ever handle One yourself.

The size of my machines are : 670mm wide x 670mm deep(bwb video), and 670mm wide x 610mm (astra), I think that 670mm wide is fairly standard width, I had to remove the house door to get the bwb machine in,and even then it was tight getting past the upvc frame, The astra machine was so much easier because it separates from its base, making it easier to handle.

Apparantly (I wasn't there) it took three people to get my machine in through the front door, and even then they had trouble getting it through the next door which was bigger. I think my machine weighs about 115kg, not sure about size, doesn't say the size on it.

My pcb club is 68cm wide, 68cm deep, and 160ish high. But as others have said the weight is the biggest killer - took three people to move it (the cabinet is 120KG). It's a genesis cabinet so if you buy a machine and it's a genesis, you will need a lot of help to manoevre it. No problems getting it in the front door, but the stairs were "interesting", and I had to take the door off the spare room to fit it through.
