    Old monitors

    Just bought 2 new flatscreen monitors and now don't know what to do with the old, standard ones. Both 17". Noone wants them but they still work!

    Seems a shame to just take them to the tip!!

    Turn them into an attractive fish tank, to impress your friends and family:

        I thought the same, I had a 21 inch Compaq monitor in perfect working order but when I went down the tip there were about 5 cages full of em'.

        You could try these guys http://www.freecycle.org/ but I reckon 95% of the stuff people offer are monitors.

              Throw them off the top of a tall building.

              You may get lucky and hit someone aswell.
