As to old PC monitors, don't forget: there are
lots of useful parts
inside, from inductors to fuses, wire-wound resistors, wires, heat
sinks, connectors, HV capacitors, etc. The same goes for PC power
supplies. Worth the few minutes or so it takes to scavenge parts from
them.
Interestingly, the thing that is worth the most in old PeeCee power
supplies is the fan screen.
