JakobFel: I don't feel the need for it, personally, but I'm not against the idea. If you have the cash and the patience to acquire the parts and the OS, I don't see any reason why you shouldn't make one if you enjoy retro games.. especially since Windows 10 has so many compatibility issues with older games.
Yeah, agree.

Judicat0r: The dangers of the radiations of CRT are overly exaggerated.

WinterSnowfall: We're talking about small amounts of radiation that can build up over time, same as frequent air travelers get from hanging out in the upper atmosphere, not nuclear reactor amounts of radiation.

Since a CRT monitor will have included shielding, you can't really argue to anyone that it is a thing you can stare at all day without issues.

Has it been built to deliver acceptable or even less amounts of radiation with average use/viewing distances in mind? Sure. At least those that are well built.

Might as well not worry about all that and use an inherently safe technology, such as LCDs. But wait! We already are :P.
Believe me: unless you stick your face right to the monitor for years, and I mean literally that, there's no harm.
On the other hand it's not healty stressing your eyes to begin with be it with displays, books, drawing, ergonomically you would't do the aforementioned for more than 20 minutes without resting your eyes for some time.

breathing exercises are mandatory, relaxing the little blood veins responsible for 'feeding' the eyes is quite important in your eye rest period
