I got 4 1680x1050 monitors for 5€ each like 5 years ago and they're still working perfectly fine

I wonder if I can get an adapter to mount an old massive CRT to a monitor arm, and if any monitor arm has pistons that can support the thing in the first place.

Undermount and passive hydraulic arm will do the job, i think, as fellow crt enjoyer i approve of your idea, i have 32 inch crt tv stored, waiting for ps3 and Xbox 360 to be bought

Get some HDMI to VGA adapters, the kind that screw into the VGA port and then have an HDMI port. I have a bunch of old VGA monitors I use with Raspberry Pis and as test displays when working on PCs and never have to deal with the annoyances of VGA since they're basically HDMI displays now.
