please before you ewaste it consider giving it to me if Jim doesn't want.<br><br>I'll give you (or anyone else )$20 if you can bring it to my house which is 3 blocks from NB (can't carry myself due to physical limitations and no car). I am an artist and I have a 20" lcd which is failing and a 17" crt� (and to be honest my utils are paid, but I am having trouble raising cash for a new LCD).<br>
<br>if I am making things too complicated just forget it.<br><br>Brian<br><br>to the electronics people -- please do consider the power supply issues. If someone wants to have a workshop on building them I can solder and do basic assembly given parts and picture. Once upon a time I could build / redesign power supplies but I have forgotten and probably never will recover those skills. This applies to anything that runs on DC electronics, including of course desktop computers. Also it would be nice to have lights set up so that easily one could turn 1/2 off in specific areas ...<br>

Ok... here is the deal... I am bringing the Monitor in and putting Jim's name on it. �If it remains at NB AND If it gets to be an issue I will personally remove it and eWaste it .<div><br></div><div><div><div></div><div class="h5">

Double what Andy said<br>

Jim: We've had CTR monitors in the past and nothing good has come out of<br>
them. They are a dime a dozen right now off of Craigslist and other<br>
channels, if you really want one go for it, if not Noisebridge does have<br>
a ton of other LCDs in perfectly good working order for LUG that you can<br>
use.<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>21" is not so easy to find. The color quality is still very much unmatched by LCDs especially the old rebuilt ones at NB. Even disregarding that there are no plenty around in this size.<br>
<br>Also the energy efficiency is confused. The power ratings on LCD are for the unit, but disregard power waste in the power supply bricks = commonly about 30% (70% waste heat). Being a compulsive label reader(and knowing the formula watts = volts * amps), my estimate is that an lcd energy saves about one notch down in monitor size. So you are looking at 21" CRT (about) same power use as 24" lcd.<br>
<br>If you want to locate huge energy hogs consider the big TV screens.� Or consider building some high efficiency power supplies for the LCDs. Unfortunate that the new CA laws for high efficiency TV power supplies did not cover large computer monitors. <br>
<br>And CRTs can be easily recycled for FREE, by taking them to the Goodwill one block away.<br><br>�</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);padding-left:1ex">
