Very odd question:P

Ok, so its rag week in our sixth form colliage, and there is a "what do you want to be when you grow up" themed day on wednesday, so my mom suggested that I come as a computer:P. So into the shed and out with an old Dell 15(ish)" CRT.
This has been disconnected for well over 3 months now (cannot remember exact time, so 3 month is safe), but is there anything in here which could go pop, or radiate me or anything (gotten the top of the case off, and it looks big and scary).
For all thouse who want to know, the plan is to have this on my head all day:)

Thanks in advanced

Are you just going to put the case on your head and look out through the glass?

Capacitors inside will still hold their charge, to a degree, remove all electronics and dont touch anything while wearing rubber gloves and you will be fine.

Strap the motherboard to your chest, although people might think you wanna be Stevie Hawking when you grow up!

Cool, thanks. A pic will be added when done:)

definately, get it up when done! :D

Be careful when handling the CRT - it contains a hard vaccuum, and if it implodes it can be dangerous. apacitors should be fine - disconnected capacitors can regan their charge, but if they have been left in a circuit, there will be little danger.

Oh and you do realise there's a slight flaw in you plan?

Do you really want to be an old obsolete computer with an outsourced customer support call center when you grow up?
