Well, thats why I'd want plans... so i can accomodate a 13" or a 19" monitor... but i do want it to be JAMMA rigged... this isn't going to be a MAME box

You took his statement the wrong way.  What Stingray is suggesting [and I'm seconding] is that you find a monitor you want to use and base your cab on THAT monitor.  That's what I did with my bartop.  I had a monitor I wanted to use, and sketched up a design based on that monitor.  It's not difficult at all.  To be fair, my cab is a bit simple and bland looking... there are MUCH better looking bartops out there, but it gets the job done.

Get yourself a monitor, and you can whip something up really quick.

Well, I found a place that sells new monitors ($179 for a new 19").

19" will make a pretty big bartop. If modern monitors require isolation transformers, you can figure it will be 24" deep, more or less, and a good 3' tall, by the time you get everything in it.

Well, thats the smallest I can find... I'd REALLY like to find a 13"... but haven't found anything yet.
