Anyone got a good plan for a cabinet to house a 36" crt?

LOL. As someone with a 31" Desti in his cab (which had to be scratch-designed around the monitor: quarterheaven.livejournal.com) I cannot recommend a showcase style cab enough! ;D
In the end, a showcase style will save you massive amounts of pain and trouble, not to mention it's a really easy style to scale up or down depending on your needs.
Edit: In other words, DON'T try to do what I did.

Something like this, only not light guns and instead a podium type control panel. SEems to be the way to go. You could also thusly seperate it to make it more transportable.

Go buy yourself a showcase cab. This is what I did and then put a 36" SVGA monitor in it. Here is a picture of what I bought. The picture is from the KLOV website.
Buy the nicest condition cab you can afford, it will make the conversion to MAME easier.

The showcase cabs are pretty cool lots of room and modular, I have this style of Dynamo showcase

There are some drawings for a 34" Dynamo cab on Jakobuds site. Maybe you can modify it to fit your needs.
