Actually a 19" bezel should fit a 21" computer monitor pretty well.  Computer monitors tend to be smaller than their advertised size.

It won't match the curvature of the tube.  Regular tv and arcade monitors have a curvy tube while a computer monitor (even the non flat ones) have a flatter tube.  I believe its called FST (flat square tube).  So it won't fit perfectly but people have still used them this way.
