Check out the, now "all but defunct," CC forum over on 'fritter for info on Color Classic Hacks. To get VGA off the MoBo, ISTR that you'll need to do whatever they call the hack that'll put a Q630 or better MoBo into your CC. I don't remember anyone getting VGA off the stock MoBo.
If you can get the proper size LCD for the CC, I've got a suggestion for you. I'm modding a Compaq Portable II case & replacing the CRT with clear plexi, vacuum formed over the original CRT face, mated to a mold of the backside of the front bezel, that'll be cast around the CRT (with the proper thickness offset added behind the bezel) in plaster of paris.
The front bezel will be attached for casting the mold and then removed before forming the plexi over the combined form. Hopefully, the plexi formed on the CRT face will be crystal clear and the bezel will slip right back onto the "surround." Haven't worked out ALL the details as yet, but that's the jist of it and doing something similar should/might get you around the bezel-fit bugaboo of CRT->LCD hacking!
. . . or not! :rambo:
edit: I'm not trying to make a cover for an LCD for the CpqP2Hack™, I'm just trying to make it look like the original CRT with the ubuntu logo displayed (back painted on the plexi before vacuum forming) on the the original CRT. It's only going to be a door, for covering up a couple of removable drive bays and whatever other crud I can stuff into that part of the case. I don't know how an LCD will look behind curved plexi, but AFAIK, it hasn't got a very high refractive index, so it probably won't act as a magnifier, but I'm talking outta my . . . erm . . . "ear" . . . on this aspect, as I haven't thought it over very much as yet!
