Hey, it powered up though.

Think I should put a frame around it and sell it as art? I'm going to call it "Fractus Electronica" and put a $500 price tag on it.
Or use the working set to show the boards are good for a quick sell on eBay. I sold some Samsung plasma boards in one week that way - a weld shop tossed the set, I recapped it to find a deep scratch, but had viewable programs on the screen - sold the boards for 210 bux, not bad for a curb crawl with 12 dollars worth of caps replaced.
