You do realize you can get a nice used CRT monitor for essentially FREE, right?
It'll get you running and truthfully, the performance of any decent CRT monitor stomps all over the performance of any affordable LCD monitor. You won't be unhappy with the picture quality of a decent used CRT. CJ |

I have a pretty nice NEC 17" LCD I am planning on getting rif of, if you are interested. I dont have it listed or anything, but I would take $150, or would trade for a new complete AR bolt carrier group and charging handle.
That said, Dell makes some pretty good monitors, but personally, I have a problem with anything dell branded on my home build. I would go viewsonic. |

Dell just released a 30" UltraSharp display… It supposedly looks as good as the Apple and… it is cheaper. |

Thanks.
CRT was a no go - space considerations, among other things. Got the monitor. Any suggestions on a $100 and under video card? Watch a few DVD's and play a quick game of CS once in a while, nothing too serious. |

AGP or PCI-Express? |

Motherboard can accept either. I haven't paid any attention to computers for the last 2-3 years; have no preference.

PCI-express is not the same as standard PCI. PCI-express has not been out 3 years if the computer is that old you need APG. GeForce 6600GT is good bang for the buck and can be had for about $130 or you if you have to keep it under $100 you can get the GeForce 6600 |

Okay. Built my current desktop 2 or 3 years ago, shaky on the time framer. Apologies.
I do recall the mobo had 8x AGP and PCI-E. Thanks. |

As far as I know, there is only one motherboard with both - an ECS. And it isnt nearly that old. You are probably thinking of PCI, which isnt even close to PCI-Express. |

It's very short on bling, but I have a Dell E193FP 19" LCD monitor that I bought as a refurb from Dell for about $260. I love the damn thing, especially at that price. Works like a charm and everything I do, including kids games, look just fine. YMMV.

My wife is very sensitive to monitor quality, and has shied away from LCDs for a long time. I convinced her to try an Ultrasharp with her new Dell, and she's extremely happy with it. (Dell 19" Ultrasharp, using DVI). Jim |
