can you take a TV screen out of its box to use it in a cab?

The process should be virtually identical to taking a PC monitor out of it's case and mounting it, which is described in this thread:

If you decide to do this, please learn how to safely discharge the thing first. One of the reasons it's in a case is to stop you electrocuting yourself (the tube is basically a big capacitor that will hold a charge for ages, even if it hasn't been plugged in for a while).

Interesting read, I've been thinking about removing the case of a PC monitor to fit on my cocktail cabinet (in construction). Any more detailed instructions on how to remove the Casing of the PC monitor.
Thanks

this web site seemed to saying you needed to buy one of their adaptor/transformer things.
is it possible to instead keep the RCA IN's and OUtS ( whatever plugs the tv already has) and use those instead??
and as for finding a place to take the tv out for me (i value my life :P ), what would you guys recommend? a TV repair guy?
