I de-cased mine, but it was because it was the only way it would fit. My cab uses a squat design, and there's not a lot of room in the monitor area. The Rolling Thunder cabinets had their speakers mounted in between the monitor and the control panel.

My cab:



FYI....the shotgun sitting next to the cab is my next project -- I'm going to transfer my Aimtrak into it. I'm researching solenoids right now, and eagerly watching this thread:

If we can figure out how to properly capture the gun output from Terminator 2, that would be the BOMB.

a 19" screen is a common size for alot of classics...it really depends on the style of cabinet you are looking for.  if you try to put a 19" monitor in a cabinet designed for a bigger one, it can look silly.  I had a 19" LCD in a dynamo cabinet that was designed for a 25" monitor..it looked really stupid. 

But i currently have a 19" LCD in my primary 2player mame cabinet, i'm not sure what the cabinet was originally, but it did have a 19" monitor, so it fits well.  I also have a 19" CRT in my Donkey Kong, which is what DK originally had, so it works fine.
