.... you could go to an arcade with a tape measure. I recently did that to get the specs on a Showcase style cabinet. :)
The other links under the cabinets section (Dragons Lair II, Wouter's, etc..) have dimentions and angles of cabinets so you can get an idea of what you are getting into. Even if they arent exacly a SF cab, you can get the basic idea.
Your measurements may vary greatly depending on what you are using for a monitor. Example, the cabinet I made from scratch (24" x 24" x 72") will not hold a 25" arcade monitor. Well it would, but there would be -zero- bezel.
After you get some base measurements, make a diagram on a sheet of paper to represent several pieces of MDF. Then try to place the most pieces of cabinet in the least amount of board space. ie: efficient wood use.
If you cant get some basic dimentions from all of the above, and you MUST have a Street Fighter style case, your best bet is to go to an arcade and measure one yourself.
