Default Monitor Mods??

Has anyone modded there monitor?
Or does anyone know something that I could do with mine?


I have a Sony Trinitron 19" and a Panasonic 17"

The sony's base is cracked, and I'd like to make it look better/fix it. But I dont know if I can even get jsut the base??
So what else can I do?

I have not mod'd a monitor as of yet...eventually I will. In the gallery there are a few examples of mod'd monitors.

Just be carefull and make sure the monitor is fully discharged before you start working on it. In otherwords, just because you inplg it does not mean you will not get a good Shock!

Montor mods = CAUTION

Unplug the monitor, I waited three days befoe even opening it up, just to be safe. BE CAREFUL. You will see a glass cylinder, it is under high pressure, and very fragile, break it, like I did mine, and it's time to find a new monitor. That was the absolute scariest moment in computer history for me.

The Sony is easy and "safe" to mod (if its the same as I modded) its shielded very well

my SF mod scroll down to find the monitor

Default monitors yo

My roomie and I both had that monitor, and moded it the same way, cept for some painting. It's VERY safe and mod-friendly. NO worries on that one. My current monitor is a Sony Trinitron 17, I'll try to post some pics for all to see, it fits the motif of the rig. Now I just have to get home where the pics are...I'll post later from there!!

Are you painting the Monitor, or are you adding something to it. The pics are a slight bit hard to follow. Either way I'm sure its sweet.

I painted it and changed the front LEDs from Green/Red to Blue/White

Nice work bud. Me and wiring LEDs just don't get along. But Someday I need to have a back to basics lesson on how to set up a set of LEDs into my case. It is severly lacking some light. I also want to drop some LEDs into some of my preferals.

BTW, how bright is your white LED?
