I went to a Virginia Tech surplus auction and ended up getting a couple monitors. One is a great Gateway VX900/Hitachi CM715 19" monitor and the other is an Apple Studio CRT Monitor which apparently is useless to me because it uses an Analog ADC connection which AFAIK has no workable converter, but I got it for 10 bucks and will probably Ebay it.

Also note the old IBM Model M is back in its rightful place, man I love the buckling springs.

Here are a lot of shots taken from my cell:

It's funny because I am in a dilemma, my LCD which cost almost $300 a year ago is great (unfortunately it has a VGA connection), but the $20 19" Gateway has great image quality, and 1600x1200 at 75Hz is absolutely beautiful. I would dual monitor it up but, I know my dorm next year won't have nearly enough space for that. I may end up using the LCD if only for space concerns :(.

There are adapters for using ADC (both old and new) monitors on PCs (I have one). Anyways, nice Model M. I had one but it broke =(

What I was reading is that the ADC to DVI adapters will not work on this monitor because the Studio CRT monitors used Analog signals as opposed to the Digital signals that a DVI video card would output.

However, there may be ADC to VGA converters, but I haven't seen those.

There was a lot of keyboards at the auction and it contained a Model M, I was very tempted to get it, but decided that one was enough :p.

There are two types of ADC, the old analog kind (rearranged VGA) and the later digital kind (DVI + Firewire or USB or something). There are adapters available for both types.
