CRT Disposal

[stesmith55]

I have finally replaced my old 19" Ilyama CRT monitor . Now I don't know what to do with it. The reason I replaced it is because it had become blurry in the centre of the screen (and also because CRTs are so 1990s). What can I do with it now? Is it easy/Would it be cheap to repair? I'd rather not just take it to the tip. Anyone know of a better way to get use it/rid of it?

I have already got a replacement, just bought a DELL 1907FP. The picture quality is awesome. Particularly like the ability to connect a laptop via VGA, whilst still having the desktop connected via DVI - and switch between the 2 at the push of a button. Oh, and the inbuilt 4 port usb hub is great too. No more fiddling under the desk to attach devices.

I quite like the idea of leaving it somewhere semi secure, and keep watch to see which scummy chav piece of sh1t3 tries to pinch it...
