I have bought some gutted jukebox shells recently that were converted at some stage to be a touchscreen PC driven thing. All the guts are gone (booo) but I would like to get at least one of them up and running with a SFF PC in it, so need to fill the hole in the front with something.

 

One of them still has a 2000 vintage viewsonic in it that appears to have a flogged out backlight, the others just have holes.

 

So if someone has one of these lying around from a previous kiosk project or something that would be great before I look at the $300 options on aliexpress.

I am 95% sure I have a suitable monitor at my dad's house in his attic. The caveat is he's away for the next 2 weeks. If you still need one in 2 weeks, let me know

It's more that the holes are 4:3 and anything that old will be VGA and probably 1280x1024 - I don't want to go further hacking up these relics of an era long gone to put a 16:9 panel in.

This is a super long term project so there is the total opposite of a rush to get them.

I did some deep searching through my Gmail inbox and found the item from 2010.
DIGIPOS 714A 15, beige/white
Let me know if that's suitable

The 2 cabinets already have holes in them to suit a 17 and a 19" one so a 15 would be too small, but thanks anyway
