You'll have to be more specific. What exactly do you want to do with it?
 
For $70 bucks I'd grab it right away if it doesn't have any problems.

Can you get a pic of the connections in the back?

that is a gateway DL-31 google for my info

it is a vga 31k and hooks up like a normal pc monitor they also have a max res of 800X600

you will have to decase it if your putting it in a cab.

you also will have to add extra support for it if their is not any already becuase there 110-130lbs "I THINK"

I would not recommend de-casing this thing.  It is a MONSTER!!!

You would be better off building a cabinet around it.  That would be a MONSTER also.

You could do a showcase cabinet where you have the control panel on one pedestal, and the Monitor on separate pedestal.  This would make it easier to manage, maybe.  And you would be able to get greater distance between your eyes and the display.

yeah the rear has to be decased if you want to put it in a showcase or it won't fit.

I own a 39" showcase model

also if you leave it in the case and not have exuast ports and a fan it would porbably burn up rather quik.
