Ah, nothing beats the thrill of a successfull dumpster dive ( tip / skip / bin dive .) Especially if you can find a industrial park with a few manufacturers around. It's amazing what gets tossed, especially consumer electronics with shipping/cosmetic damage. One of my favorites was a manufacturers repair depot where they did triage on warranty repairs. It doesn't take much for them to condemn some items.
I have a really nice 19" Viewsonic monitor that has a cracked lower bezel ( horrors :lol: .) 30 minutes disassembly, 5 minutes with plumbers ABS pipe cement, a quick sandpaper on the outside, and I dare you to find the crack.
BTW it was brand new, still had the protective shipping sheet tapped over the screen.
