--- Quote from: Joystick Jerk on May 31, 2007, 07:48:49 pm ---Well, my main bitching point right now is acquiring an arcade monitor. After some research, it seems like I have two options. Get one from a distributor here in Canada, but I've contacted them all and they all want at least $1000, for a monitor that goes for $400 in the US. Or order direct from the US, and pay around $250 for shipping, at the least, along with duty and tax in the end. So basically I can take it in the ass, or up the ass. --- End quote --- Yep, for new monitors, you are absolutely right. The last monitor I had shipped from Happ cost me $50 in shipping via Fedex Ground (plus taxes). It was a 19" monitor and I imagine that you are looking bigger. You might want to post a WTB over on CGCC (although that is mostly Ontario folks) ... 3 29" monitors came up yesterday for free. You just never know. There is a monitor supplier here that I hadn't heard of previously ... damned if I can remember their name though (but I bet someone on CGCC knows). In any event, good luck. |

You might me thinking of Rick Nieman, of Nieman Displays. Everything I've heard about them sounds great, but they don't yet produce a digital tri-mode monitor. Kind of a sticking point, since I don't want to tweak display settings everytime the resolution changes. |
