is my art project feasible?

if the dvd screens can be folded flat, then i can hide the rest of it. it gets bulky tho.

i'm looking on sparcfun and sites like that for prices, and it doesn't look like monitors are very cheap.

scavenging them would be best, but unless there's an 'easy' way, then i'm going to be stuck with proprietary products. because i'm not a tech, and neither are the people i will be working with - they're just economical and expect to have to tear something down to be able to use it.

any ideas?
