Old school cool laptop monitor

Anyone know if/how I can utilize this old tube TV for a laptop monitor? I have a quasi man cave in the basement (proper build out pending). I’d love to use this TV as a monitor for my MacBook and maybe hook up a Roku if the proper adapters even exist.

Looking for ideas on mancave shed

I have my mancave shed out back, its a 20x15, TuffShed framed and insulated, etc...
However It is slightly elevated on support blocks towards the front to account for ground slope, about 6"-8", not a whole lot for anyone to crawl under, but small animals and such could. Not the issue here.

I do have a mini split heater in there that can warm it up pretty quick, but the fucking floor is cold as shit... its just the subfloor OSB and I put astro turf on top. Not really insulated by any means.

It gets pretty moist under there through natural seepage from the irrigation ditch behind the shed... not soaking wet, just always kind of damp. I want to shoot some insulation under it, or do some hay or something, then add a skirt around it to block it off.

Several things come to mind. Moisture = mold... dont want that.
Whatever I use will have to be semi permanent, I dont want to do this every spring.
Are there water proof options I could use?

Updates to my mancave.

I have a new desk for the computer, mounted one of my lightsabers to the wall and added a hat rack.

Bar suggestions?

I'm looking for a small bar to fit in an empty corner. Just a 2 seater is fine, maybe 3 if its an L shape. Looking for something preferably black with a footrest. And preferably under $1000, maybe can go to $1200. I have checked Amazon, Wayfair, you name it. Its not easy finding a simple bar as I described. I don't want wood color, or a see through wine stand, just a solid bar. Anyone have any suggestions?

Luxury Man Caves

Where’s the thread that shows off higher end, quality designed mancaves? Most of these posted look no better than living in a frat house or their mother’s unfinished basement.

My Sanctuary

Here is my sanctuary. From creating and playing music to repairing vintage gear, this is where it gets done. No, the wife doesn't understand.
