well that has been a thought. It's a good thing it's an extra monitor. I just hate to throw it out because it is so cool. the Monitor is a flat screen and it tilts back and forth and slides up and down on the arm.

i had an old monitor that overheated and the picture would get all fuzzy...so i took the rear casing off, took it out in the garage, and drilled a bunch of decent sized holes in it. though you cant really do that  maybe its filled with dust? try blowing it out
