I just picked up an otherwise functional IBM NetVista x40i 2179-750 that has a cracked LCD. I gave Google a quick run and eBay as well, but I didn't find anyone selling service parts that wasn't one of those "We have every part in the universe! (in our database, anyway)" sites. It's a P3 600EB, so I should be able to drop in the P3 933 I have on hand to make it a decent machine, if I can get a replacement LCD. I do have a couple somewhat dead LCD monitors on hand too, both with likely dead controllers, both 15" like the IBM: a Compaq TFT5000S and a Envision EN-LM500/EN5100e. Does anyone happen to know my chances of getting one of the panels from those working in the IBM, before I get to tearing them all apart? Or even another otherwise dead x40i with a good LCD I could salvage? These seem like a corporate executive desk candy kind of machine, so I'd think there would be a few on eBay, but all I find is a few RAM auctions.

Have you pulled the bezel apart and gotten the part number off of the LCD itself? IBM doesn't manufacture LCD panels, so it's likely a common part made by the likes of Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung or LG. I'd try searching for the panel part number itself.
I hadn't then, but I just did: Hitachi HT15x11-100
EDIT: IBM Part no 22P2284 is listed on my panel. A bit of searching also shows 09N2671 and 89P8138 might work too.
