My Brother had one of those old cabinet TVs taking up a bunch of space. He only kept it because they can be made into a decent drink cabinet. Ended up getting rid of it and three other TVs when the local council offered to recycle them for free.

I need to dispose of my old CRT monitor - even the local scrap recycling place doesn't take them.

Repurpose it?

I suppose that weird/tiny old CRTs still have some value. Back in 2013, I got my hands on a tiny monochrome VGA monitor which was 10 inches across, shipped with one of those 286-based "electronic typewriter" things which were bullshit products for aging people who were afraid of computers back in 1985. The 286 was thrown away but the monitor worked like a champ with Win7, although it topped out at 640x480 - the picture was crisp and clear, and it would put many early 2000s LCDs to shame. I spray painted it black and sold it to a hipster :siren: for no less than $20, :siren: in TYOOL 2013. Pretty impressive for something that was literally fished out of the dumpster.

Old CRTs are now known as 'Artisanal Monitors' and are treasured by hipster scum.
