I've found a desktop and monitor combination in the shed, sourced from a local radio amateur flea market a few years ago. The monitor is what I need to replace the other half's aging 4:3 item in the back room.
Trouble is they are tied together with a Kensington Lock with a steel cable looped through convenient holes in the tower casing. The motherboard has already been used elsewhere and so I can discard the metal stuff.
I 've separated them with the usual brute method, which leaves the lock bit on the back of the monitor but now I've seen this youtube video that suggests they are not as secure as they are made out to be.
I was going to take the back of the monitor apart and file out the plastic case, but are the 'locks' really as insecure as this ?
