As long as you don't have to keep an eye on your electricity bill, they
are fine... but they are also very bulky, especially those 19-, 21- or
23-inch behemoths capable of display really high resolutions!
Currently, I'm on a retrocomputing trip and thus about to build myself a
386, 486 or first generation Pentium computer, as a monitor I would like
to choose a 14- or 15-inch CRT, any larger one would be overkill for
MS-DOS and also not fit into my shelf...
See you in Khyberspace!

Will you be doing your own mainboard layout? }:->

No, by "building" I meant "assembling from existing parts", not
"re-designing from scratch" - too bad I'm not a semiconductor company!
But believe it, nowadays those old computers are well-sought vintage
objects! You may find a 386 system announced for a cool 300 euros - very
unlike the 1990s and early 2000s, when you even found them on piles of
bulk trash!
See you in Khyberspace!
