There's a lot of cool project going on, a lot of whom inspired me. The one that got me started at first is that one:

It's pretty cool, but I didn't like the cutting of the CRT bezel. I clearly wanted to preserve the typical "curved" look as much as possible, and avoid modifying the case. I also saw Mac128's link, but my poor skills wouldn't allow me to diamond-cut the CRT...
So I went with the easiest solution, at least from my point of view and skills: I built a simple metal frame from a bar (is that the right word in english?) around the lcd panel, which I screwd to the case using the original SE's screws. The frame is covered with a black foam sheet which helped filling the gap caused by the curved bezel. There still is a 4-5 milimeters gap in the middle of the bezel, but it can't be seen unless being extra close. And it looks great, I think.
The panel is sadly a tiny little bit closer to the bottom of the bezel than the top. In fact, it does perfectly simulate a bad height setting of the CRT!
A picture is coming as soon as I get to it. It may not be perfect, but I'm largely satisfied with it!
And by the way, I apologize for my numerous mistakes. English is a foreign language for me, and I miss a lot of vocabulary and grammar. Sorry, hopefully you understood what I tried to write!
