What hapened with the build inside a CRT?

taylormsj · 05-20-2007, 05:07 PM

What hapened to the post about the guys building a pc in a CRT monitor - did it get finished? Im asking as i want to try this as a project during the summer and want to talk to the maker and get some ideas / advice and also see if he doesnt mind me trying. although not after a TFT inside i just wanna trip it out with some funky neons and put a clear sheet of acrylic over the front.

I've never heard of that, but I know it's possible since thats what the iMacs were I believe.

As for taking a regular CRT though, theres not much free space inside.

You'd get a shock but it's generally not enough to kill you. This is because static from the CRT itself is high-voltage but very low ampage, it'd hurt but you'd live.

How about if i wore some plastic gloves whilst stripping the insides? Im going to the dump tomorow im bound to pick up something usable.
