If you mean the degauss (orange wires) connector, I would just use a small zip-tie to clip it to a safe spot away from any connections or places on the chassis where it might accidentally touch some pins. The coil will be completely dead.
I don't have a recommendation for a manual degauss wand/coil. I don't own one. You may not need one, but if you get weird color anomalies, especially if moving the cabinet around, you'll eventually have to get one. Or you can try weird hacks people use by searching on the net. I once used a giant magnet mount for a CB antenna. Not the best solution, but worked in a pinch when I had some discoloration in one corner of a monitor.

OK made all the connections ... powered up ... monitor sounds like its turning on, then a split second later my breaker trips :) so Im guessing Im not grounding correctly? Should I check the green cable from my neck board to the black ground I cut from my monitor? Or could there be other problems?

Hard to tell without some pics on how it is wired, But from the description it doesn't really sound as a dead short...Jenn would be rechecking the yoke resistance as compared to what board you actually have.

Breaker in your electrical panel of your home? Wow. Figured you'd blow a fuse before that.
