I had an old (but perfect-picture) IBM 8514 monitor in my garage "shop",
and during one rather energetic argument with my SO over "too much
computer equipment", she picked up the monitor and THREW it at the
ground (which was nothing more than thin carpet over concrete).

Plastic bezel/case cracked a bit. CRT stayed intact. I'm still debating
whether I should power it up and see if it still works. 8-)
