Ack! My wife doesn't want any free monitors!!!

[javeryh]

Tomorrow I can drive 45 minutes and take up to "about twenty" 15" monitors from a friend of mine who is in charge of closing down an office.  They are getting thrown away otherwise

when you say monitor, I assume PC monitor.

In this case, yes.. be a good husband and stay home.  There's a reason why goodwill doesn't even want it.  Here in Toronto, I can buy 17" refurbs for less than 100$ CDN..  15" are given away almost for free.  So don't worry about ever finding one in the future.

be a good hubby and pleasure the wifey first then go get some

15 inch monitors are almost not worth the trouble unless you have something specific in mind for them.  At most, I would say pick up one or two.  I guess you could use it for a multi monitor setup for your computers.  I am planning on doing something similar with a wealth of 17 inchers i got recently.  mount em around your computer station and you can have some extra desktop space.  Anyways, use em, or forget em IMO.

Honestly dude, count yourself LUCKY you have a throttle control on your habits!

My fiance pretty much lets me get whatever I want, and once I fill the house, she knows I'll have to add on.

As such, when I moved into my 1,700 sq foot house almost 5 years ago from a 600 sq ft apartment, I believe I moved in a total of TEN monitors in some shape or form. (25", 19", 13" TVs / 3 Commodore 13" composite monitors / 2 Apple 13" composite monitors / 19" and 15" Computer monitor)

Now, last winter when I last checked, if I include the monitors already installed in my 7 arcade cabinets, extra arcade monitors waiting to be fixed/built into a machine, the LCD panels on my computer and 2 notebooks, TV's in every room, bare tubes removed from dead TVs for swapping in arcade monitors, old Apple and Commodore monitors and even more misc parts, I believe i came up with a whopping 45 TUBES and 3 LCD panels.    ( 2 TVs, 1 computer CRT and 1 notebook LCD inherited from my fiance)

Oh please, someone help me.....  I can't let a good tube go to waste! (plus it costs too much to throw them)

Well, I do need a 12 pin tube for my monitor.  It has a milky haze over part of it.  No idea how to test it for anything, though.

Make 20 bartop arcade cabinets all with different themes

That's what I was thinking!

In Chattanooga (where I live), I found a storage building for $16/month.  It's not climate controlled but it is dry and secure.

See if you can find one like that and you can store all the junk you want....that's what I do because our house is so small.
