I'm selling my Mitsubishi Diamondscan 20m monitor. It is a PC monitor but it has the specs of an arcade monitor. It is compatible with 15, 24, and 31khz resolutions. You could use this for MAME or connect a PCB to it. It is in excellent condition, has extremely good focus, contrast, and brightness, and absolutely no burn in.
I have looked at the inside of this monitor and underneath the plastic casing there is a metal housing around the chassis of the monitor. I believe it would be very easy to decase this monitor and use it as a drop in replacement for any 19" arcade monitor. You might have to drill some new holes on your mounting bracket, because this is actually a 20" tube.
Asking $150.
It looks like this:

Do you have a price in mind or are you taking offers?
(I'm not interested personally, I just couldn't see a price)
EDIT: Doh, just saw the price in your thread title after scanning your main post five times (http://forum.arcadeotaku.com/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif) (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v325/Francoberasi/Smileys/speechless-smiley-004.gif)

Aren't people using monitors like these for doorstops now-n-days?

Im interested but its seems a bit pricey plus ill have to pay shipping to NY

If not for the cost of shipping, I'd buy this.

Most of the ones people are using as doorstops are either very old or have significant power issues.
This monitor nearly brand new. I purchased it from a computer dealer at the University of Kentucky auction. It was still new in the box at the time.
I used it in my cab as a MAME monitor for about six months over the last year.
I guarantee this monitor not to be DOA, and to have extremely good performance.
I think considering the price of a new arcade monitor and the capabilities of this one it's a fair price.

how much would it cost to ship to NY 11702
-
I'm unsure what the best carrier to use for this sort of service would be.
The UPS shipping calculator will allow me to input an 80 lb. package and gives an estimated cost of $50.00 from 40504 for UPS ground.
I also have to include in the price of shipping any packaging materials I needed. This would probably be a big cardboard box and plenty of packaging peanuts. I suspect that will add an addtional $20 to the price.
For those who have shipped monitors, any tips?
-
Use FedEx, not UPS. Far less likely to end up with a hole in the monitor. I don't normally advocate FedEx ground due to the difficulty dealing with them, but they have less of a tendency to mangle packages.
If you really want to be sure it gets there in one piece, build a wooden crate. A double cardboard box (box within a box) is a suitable other option.
Don't use packing peanuts. Use foam "sheets". Preferably the stuff that compresses and spings back, not the stuff that dents. Ship the monitor face down and clearly mark the box to be moved in only the orientation that keeps this the case. Pad everything so that the monitor doesn't move. Provide at least 2" of foam around all areas between the monitor and the box sides.
I know someone who MIGHT be interested in this. I'll ask tomorrow. Pick-up might be possible.

Damn, I'd like to just see how this thing performs in person....
