I'm going to gut my old FD Trinitron and slap in an LCD and mini-ITX and you can't stop me

I'm going to gut my old FD Trinitron and slap in an LCD and mini-ITX and you can't stop me.

k good luck dying

It's been sitting in a closet for close to 12 years, I'm pretty sure any electricity left in the capacitors discharged over a decade ago.

What GPU?
Any recent GPU that still has VGA has a shit tier RAMDAC that will make everything in your CRT look like shit, and won't even max out it's resolution/refresh rate

I've got that same monitor. What you're doing is probably better than what I'm going to do, which is throw it in the garbage.

That's a felony user.

>CRT
I don't think you quite grasped the purpose of the project.

Except you won't actually do it.

Post pics, pussy.

>imblying you won't die from lead and cadmium poisoning
>imbliying it won't implode and leave you with a thousand shards of glass embedded in you're dick

No, it's not. E-Waste laws exist at the state level, and my state exempts citizens from them.

>The vacuum chamber explodes
>OP is kill
>Family is kill from lead and cadmium toxicity

H-how painful would it be to suicide by CRT?

It would be extremely painful

Why can't you fags just wear flannel or play shitty N64 games in an emulator like all the other '90s kid hipsters?

Nobody gives a shit if you destroyed something old to turn it even to something even shittier.

I've done a lot of DIY electrical work in my house, and a few times I didn't bother to turn off the breaker.

Suffice it to say, electricity hurts like a bitch. Not as much as tearing your ACL, but it's still pretty bad. And while it happens you will feel helpless and once your heart stops you'll feel the incredible mortification that comes with that. It's probably like a 3/10 wouldn't do it again.

If chinks can do it you can too.

You're definitely doing a better thing

That's a big monitor

For you

I highly encourage you to ask a professional for help disassembling and getting rid of all that is inside that CRT. Please don't take this piece of advice lightly.

Fuck me there is so many pussies here. Just unscrew the back and gut it. Then throw the vac tube at something and wear some sunnies for safety.
If your a faggy little bitch you could always just throw a bit of ceramic at it from a far.

You're all stupid. You don't even need to fuck around with the vac tube, just take it out whole and don't put it back in and throw it out.

True, but its better to break it so the garbage man doesn't get any surprises.

Crack the neck then, or fill it through the anode or something. I don't remember the proper way to do it (I fix TVs and arcade monitors and am not in the habit of disposing of them), so just Google the right way to do it.

Y'all fucking retarded. Its half-inch thick glass made to withstand attacks from cats, pencil stabs from office ladies and being punched by raging idiots. Its actually easier to break the plasitc casing than the glass. Plus its a fucking vacuum with only 1 atm. pressure difference, a bike tire has 3-5 times more.

Source: growing up in slav ghetto, personally gutting 2 TVs and a CRT and smashing 2 TV tubes for giggles that we found while playing on an abandoned construction site. Those things withstand a fist-sized stone flinged by a 7-year old, it took a brick dropped from a floor above to break it, and the "explosion" was about as exciting as dropping a cofee mug

It's the voltage that hurts. Given you were working with mains you took either a 120 or 240 volt shock. I've taken 700v and would rate it at a 6 or 7/10, I can't imagine what the 1000s of volts a CRT can jolt you with would feel like

Good luck finding a 4:3 LCD.

Oh yeah because there isn't an abundance of those
