DO NOT THROW MONITORS IN THE DUMPSTER....if you have been reading this post, or do a little research, u will know what poisons are in these things. This crap gets into the soil and it will NEVER leave....may even get to ground water.

Some ppl (my self included) sell off case, psu and basics on Ebay...ppl buy them for various reasons, many just to have a box to burn CDs with...

If so, then there has to be over 200 million TV sets junked since 1947 doing the same thing. Any idea WHERE they actually put a CRT once it is truely non-functioning? They don't recycle it, that's for sure. There is nothing you can recycle it into.

Weird!!!!
btw, your 17" CRT monitor would seat really really well on my desktop
