19" monitor Cabinet design examples...
RayB:
I dunno if this will help, but search for cabinet plans based on the old classic Taito cab, and Sega/Gremlin Frogger or Astro Blaster.

From the sounds of it, you are interested in building a cabaret style cabinet.
You might try a search for cabaret, and see what you come up with.

PERFECT - for anyone with limited space, less than a 25" monitor, a strict budget, etc...
I think i've settled in on my design..

Thats got a 25" in it.
What about a williams design?
Or a pacman?

The old cabs are the best for 19".
You just need to select a smaller control panel layout.
(Ie, not 7 buttons per player, trackball, spinner, etc.)
I've got a pacman that I've just stripped all the old laytex paint off of and I'm getting ready to turn it into a mame cab.
The monitor lays down in the cab making it very easy to play.

I'll make it easy on you. Go to klov.com and start looking at cabinets. Basically EVERY game prior to 1986 had a 19" monitor as did many of the made afterwards.
Also, be sure and check out minwah's cab, which is worth looking at.
Good 19" cabinets are Defender, Pac-Man, System One (like Minwahs), Frogger, Zaxxon, Gorf. Heck there are a million of them.
Really though, check out the system one cabinets, one of the larger control panels I have seen on 19" cabs.
