after being delayed for ages (b/c of weather probably? idk) it finally showed upppp
the shell beneath the monitor is broken and there are somehow packing peanuts INSIDE the case but honestly i'm planning on pulling everything apart anyway so i'm not gonna bother contacting anyone about it
increasingly thinking i'm probably gonna replace the monitor instead of dealing with the CRT, partly because working with a CRT sounds complicated af and partly because i don't know how long it would last anyway. plus it gives me more room to work with inside the case
