    Ill never break down a MAC monitor again

    The thing had so many screws and what not. It took me 20 minutes to break down the darn thing. From now on If I get any of them they going straight to goodwill.

    Hmm. I broke one down yesterday and didn't think it was too bad. Was it one of these?

    Those are Emac's. Definitely use a big hammer and just do a smash and grab. Its not worth the time to take it all apart. Take whats left to wherever you recycle your monitors.

    Wasn't bad at all. Still working on the pile of scrap I have overflowing in the garage. Trying to get more focused and organized so tear downs go quicker. Also tore down a TV. I can see the glass and plastics are going to be in the way very soon.

    By just putting them in the trash like that after smashed is highly illegal around here. You are exposing the garbage men to hazardous materials and toxic dust.
