Yup, a cabinet is needed for only 3 things: making it look presentable in a main room of a nicely furnished home, keeping children as well as adults of comparable IQ to children from touching live terminals while the set is running/holding charge from it's last run, and to facilitate stacking stuff (like other TVs
) on top of it.
If you wanted you could set the bare chassis on top of a spare fridge in a garage or basement where looks don't matter and it's high enough that kids can't reach it, and as long as no one tries to stack bags of chips on it (honey why do I smell plastic, potatoes and grease burning?
) it could be the fridge TV.
