Oops, i broke my montor box.

All,
It doesn't matter how, but I have managed to damage my Philips 200W6CS box and polystyrene, such that it is no longer in a decent state to contain the monitor.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to acquire a new one, apart from phoning Philips and probably have them charge me for a new box?

Cheers in advance,
ben

I had to read this a few times to make sure you're serious

Can the box be repaired with duct tape?

May I ask what you need the box for now?

Well, transporting the monitor.

Buy bubble wrap.

Wrap monitor.

Wrap monitor more.

Then some more.

Find box.

sounds like a plan to be honest.

If I need to transport my monitor I normally put it on the floor in front of the rear seats of my car then jam a pillow between the screen and the seat in front

Goto your local corner shop around morning time and ask for bubble wrap

Good plan, I normally blindfold it with a pillowcase and strap it in the front seat.

I bought 100 meters of bubble wrap a while back - good for popping

As long as there's no pressure on the LCD panel.

Use newspaper, cheaper and just as good as bubble wrap.

You can move the seat in front, forwards or backwards to get the right fit
