Several years ago I scored a bunch of computer systems that were being liquidated at a company auction. As part of that deal, I wound up with four pretty nice 20″ Nanao workstation monitors. I kept one, and the other three went to friends and family. These monitors are really big, and really heavy. I think that each and every one of them is now taking up floor space in storage of everyone’s basement. Not really wanting to put it in the landfill, I paid the $0.20 listing fee on eBay to see if anyone could take it off my hands (and there’s three more to a good home too!).
So if anyone wants a monitor or three, just let me know (or bid on eBay by clicking here). They work well as computer monitors still, or could be a very effective boat anchor, or perhaps even with some modifications a totally cool fish tank. They’re probably headed for the landfill on the weekend if nobody wants them.

Anyone need a boat anchor?

I still have mine that I picked up at that very same auction 
Glenn seemingly wants another one though. So, if you have one left, throw it on my desk please
I got exactly the same monitor at the same sale. They are freaking heavy! I bought 3 and sold one, keeping two figuring they were already 10 years old so “how long could they last”?? Well, it’s lasted 5 or more years already, and still seems fine. They were built well and I googled them and they sold for over $3500 when they first came out!
I think I’ll probably post the one in my basement on “freecycle”. You should check it out, it’s a great way to get rid of stuff and give it to someone who can use it (or who has more room in their basement!).
Heh, my father had a 19″ Sony Trinitron. He got a 21″ flat screen for fathers day last year. I offered to sell it for him on ebay. Darn near popped a vein hauling it back to my house. I was a little more daring on ebay, asking a starting price of $25. I got one bid.. for $25 and they came to pick it up (since I live near Toronto, I *never* ship … probably reduces the amounts of bids but worth the avoided inconvenience). Now my mom wants me to sell their Organ… it is quite nice (they bought it for 3K about 10 years ago) but I have doubts if it would sell or not - since she wants a *minimum* of $600 for it.
