Toshiba Infinia – Gorgeous CRT Design

My first computer when I was a kid was a TRS-80. Cassette deck for saving my programs and everything! My first Windows machine was a Toshiba Infinia I purchased after college in ‘96 while living in Nashville. I believe the Infinia was the greatest computer design ever. At the time, it was the only tower and monitor combo that was black and not the ugly beige box.

I’ve still got the tower and the CRT. I just dumped off three other old CRT’s at Best Buy to take advantage of their recycling program. I just can’t ditch the Infinia monitor though. My original goal was to rebuild my own machine as a living room computer/media center. The immediate goal now is to figure out how I can reuse this monitor.
My first thought was to hope that the AT&T U-verse box had a monitor out option. It doesn’t, so now I’m wondering if there’s an adapter that will let me use the monitor as a display and accept input from S-Video or RCA outputs.
Anyone have an idea of how that could be done?
I’ve got one of these too – absolutely amazing. I’m on the younger side, but this was the first computer I owned.
I’m definitely subscribed to the comments for this one. <3
If anyone has a pdf or other copy of the information and any manuals on the monitor and the module that goes in front, drop me an email at
