We know how it is. You have a laptop or monitor that's finally bought it, so you decide to salvage it for parts that you'll use *someday*. Well, here's one decidedly inexpensive option for any spare LCD panels you might have lying around. As noted by *Make*, you can now buy a simple LCD controller on eBay for just $33, which will turn that panel (assuming it's compatible) into a fully functional monitor without too much skilled required on your part -- you're on your own to make it presentable, though.
