Recycled Monitor Picture Viewer

 I had an old broken LCD monitor gathering dust in my closet, so I decided to open it up and see if I could fix it.  I found the problem (loose flex cables) and got it working.  Since I had a newer monitor, I planned to recycle the monitor as a wall-mounted display/picture viewer.  To make it even more versatile, I just left it with a VGA/DVI cable coming out the back so I can attach it to a PC for watching movies and TV (via Pinnacle USB tuner) when not using it to display photos.  You can download the step-by-step instructions below... it's not rocket science... just building a box.   :)
