New build

[LazyPigeon]

Where could i get those old monitors? The ones that are about 50cm thick.. And what size those monitors are? I need this info cuz i am building a pc+ a modern monitorn in the old monitor case. I wont use a really strong pc but i was to to this interesting build. And when ''i turn on the monitor'' i would turn on the pc and the monitor at the same time

You mean a CRT monitor to do a 1990s Mac-like build, like this?

They're completely out of production as far as I know. I remember the biggest ones being 19 inches, but I may be wrong.

The problem what what you want to do is that you're not guaranteed to be able to fit a mini ITX motherboard in them, and if you do, fitting an ATX PSU is going to be next to impossible without extensive modifications.

Add to that the fact that you'll need to modify (or even worse, replace) the on/off switch, and you can see how this is going to be tough.

Regardless of the challenge it will be, this sounds like a fun build

 

Maybe you can find some on eBay ?

 

Edit : just looked, I found some on eBay, they are expensive though

My bad, I looked at it from my phone, and the first ones to show were 100-150€ without shipping.
