Are there any Cabs that are 25" wide?

MPTech:
Are any of the common cabs 25" wide?

I built my first cab a couple years ago and was considering building a budget cab for my son's fraternity (so I didn't want anything too good that may get abused a little).
I was looking at a gutted Defender cab, but didn't get a measurement on it. How big is the monitor opening?
I have a donor 25" TV that measures about 24 1/2", but I don't know what cabs would work.

I think a Nintendo Widebody is 25.5" wide.

I know that my mameroom cab could fit a 25" TV. And that the plans were modifiable to fit a TV up to 31". The plans are cheap and easy to follow, I reccomend them if you decide against gutting a cab.

I have a Midway blitz cabinet and that would fit nicely.  Inside width is ~25 1/4".  That is a pretty common cabinet and was used for blitz, nba jam, and the mortal kombat series.  If you are up for some additional work you could probably decase that tv and use the stock monitor mounts.  I was able to squeeze a 27" tv in mine with a little "trimming" to the tv case.  It also has the advantage of having a detachable control panel box so its easy to replace/modify.

ironmichael:
I also went with the Mameroom cabinet plans and paid a few bucks extra for the templates.  All the appropriate cutouts have dashed-lines on them, indicating where to cut for monitor widths of 25", 27" or 29".  It was "virtually" idiot-proof and greatly expedited the construction process.
