I'd love to decase the monitor but I'm just scared I'd screw up and touch the anode cap or something!

I plan to install a fan or two on the top of the bartop cab to get the hot air from the monitor out.

BTW I decided to visit that groovygamegear site and order my controls (Happ Competition joystick and buttons) and some t-molding.

If I'm lucky (and can get the parts) I might be able to set the PC up to see how things run!

You can touch the anode cap, what you don't want to do is rip it out of it's socket and stick your finger in the hole on a monitor that tends to hold a charge.

Some computer monitors decase easily, others are nightmares I wouldn't wish on anyone.

ChadTower:

Depends on the tube.  If there is damage to the insulative paint around the outside of the anode hole, just touching around the cap can get you zapped.  Granted, that's not a monitor he wants to be using due to the damage, but it's something he'd need to be aware of.

It's actually fun to watch one of those failing in operation.  There are tiny blue sparks leaking out of the anode cap onto the outside of the tube within an inch or so of the cap.  It's like a tiny angry Palpatine.

Aikon:
Aye I bet it looks ace! But I don't want to kill myself in the process lol! I'll try to get some of the wood this weekend and see if it all works! If it does.... then let the cabinet building begin!
