[rescue] Free: IBM T220 prototype LCDs, rough condition

Hi Rescue,

I've got three IBM prototype T220 displays, in extremely rough 
condition.  One LCD panel is cracked.  The other two have some scratches 
and marks.  I estimate that, with some time and effort, there are parts 
for one good monitor, with some spare parts.  Two monitors have 
mostly-complete plastic, the third (with broken panel) has the plastics 
removed.

The IBM T220 is, as far as I know, the first 4K desktop LCD. (Actually 
WQUXGA.)  Absolute beasts.  These take 3 old-style Thinkpad power bricks 
and 4 DVI cables.

These were diverted from a Silicon Valley e-waste recycler a few years 
ago.  I believe they came from Lawrence Livermore National Labs prior to 
that.  I never managed to find the appropriate graphics card, so they've 
been sitting around since.

Since I've had them for years without doing anything with them, I 
thought I'd offer them to the list.  Free if you can pick up in the 
South SF Bay area.
