Cabs w/ 19" monitors

Hey folks.  Anyone have any pictures of cabinets that have used 19" computer monitors?

Obviously, bigger is better and I've often seen people harp on those who build a cab and then plug a 19" monitor in there, but I stumbled upon a cheap 19" computer monitor, so if it doesn't look terrible, it could greatly streamline my project.  I'm mostly curious what a 19" monitor looks like in a Lusid-style cab, since I plan to have a fairly large control panel that might look odd if it was on a more narrow cabinet built for a smaller monitor.

TIA

In a Lusid style cab it will look really small. It would look marginal in a classics cabinet.

I have build cabinets around smaller monitors, but you have to proportion them correctly or they look weird.

Why marginal?  Didn't most classics use 19" monitors?

This is my cabinet when it had a MAG 19" PC monitor in it.  The cabinet was originally a Konami Super Contra (stripped and painted black before I got it), and is 23" wide:

That particular control panel has been replaced, but along the top is Shift, Player 1 Start, left trackball, right trackball, player 2 start, Pause, and Exit.
