I have an old monitor that UPS indirectly paid for that I still have
no use for.  I wanted to take out the picture tube,  put a piece of
plexi-glass over the front,  and make the sucker watertight.  I figure
that if I can fill the thing with water and rig the power switch to a
light bulb, I'd have a nice fish bowl.  

The question then is, do PCBs and/or chips give off any chemicals
after they have been sitting around in water?  I planned to leave the
circuit board in place to give the bottom of the tank a hi-tech look.
