21" LCD Monitor Kits?

Dee asks: "My firm has an opportunity to build a 21" NEC flat panel LCD monitor into a custom enclosure. As the OEM, we can do pretty much anything with the case. We're looking at deep drawn aluminum cases, anodized in any color you can name. A search on here shows that a generic 18" LCD in a plastic enclosure retails for $649 or so. What price range are people willing to pay for a 21" LCD? Would people be interested in a DIY kit for the display?" Frankly, I'd be more interested in seeing what one of these monsters might look like before I'd be able to say how much I'd pay for one, still the idea sounds intriguing in and of itself. Pricewatch has them in the $2-3k range, these days, in case you were wondering.

Re:is a CRT not an option?

[PD]

OK, I'm one of those people. I think that an LCD looks different than a monitor, but it's just as good.

Just for the record, I also:

-cannot distinguish cilantro and parsley by sight or smell

-believe that Cmdr. Taco chose a nice color scheme for /.

-don't see what's all that great about HP calculators

-can't tell the difference between IDE and SCSI

-eat hamburgers with the crown facing the floor and the heel facing the ceiling

-usually like the sequel better than the original

-will listen to a remake of any Elvis Presley song

-always like the movie much better than the book

AND

-think that Miller Beer both tastes great and is less filling
