Hi everyone, this is my first post and my first real mod so I am looking for a bit of advice before I start.

I'm looking to mod an old 13" TV into a Linux computer. But, I also want to keep it functional as a TV, mostly for DVDs (and ideally even VHS), as I don't have cable. My first thoughts were to replace the guts all together and put a flat screen inside the case, and run the video through some sort of TV Tuner card. However, I really don't know a lot about doing anything like this, so maybe someone knows a better way? The idea is to have everything self-contained inside the box.

Anyway, any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!
