What should go: CRT Monitors

Replace them with: LCD monitors

Open the computer storage closet for many companies and you're bound to see piles of CRT monitors spilling out. They also still represent the heavyweight of most desktop setups.

"CRT monitors are big, heavy and bulky; not the best combination for a desk or workspace," Sawyer says. She adds that flat-panel LCD monitors are improving every day. "LCDs are getting better and more reliable and costs are coming way down. This makes them affordable to any business and their lifespan is greater so their overall cost is lower."
