Lines: 18 I have an old monitor that UPS indirectly paid for that I still have no use for. I wanted to take out the picture tube, put a piece of plexi-glass over the front, and make the sucker watertight. I figure that if I can fill the thing with water and rig the power switch to a light bulb, I'd have a nice fish bowl. The question then is, do PCBs and/or chips give off any chemicals after they have been sitting around in water? I planned to leave the circuit board in place to give the bottom of the tank a hi-tech look.
