RGB Monitor?

I've come across some old large CAD RGB monitors lying in the back storeroom. The connector on the back of these is actually 3 separate wires - one each for red, green and blue.

Clearly, then, it's an old RGB monitor. :) And that's about where my knowledge ends.

Can I use these things at all in a cabinet project? They're off old (!) Unix stations, and are obviously old - but they do work.

If I can use them, what kind of wacky hack am I going to need for it? :)

Love to hear any thoughts. If it helps, they're old IBM model 6091-19 monitors. Date of manufacture is April 1992 (yowza!). :)
