Title: How to buy a multi sync 27" monitor without going bankrupt!
Post by: rackoon on September 13, 2005, 08:39:03 pm: I am at the point in my cab build that I need to figure out where I am going to get a monitor. I am hoping to buy a 27" d9200 or a betson. Yet, last time I checked Happs was selling the d9200 for over $600 shipped. The Betson isn't far behind.

Does any one know where I can find a place to buy one of these monitors for less. I live near SF and Sacramento in Ca and would be willing to drive to a seller If I could find one.

I have herd that some folks have bought theres from Happs for $399 when they have a sale. But I think prices have gone up recently. Bummer!

There address is:
213 East Harris Ave
South San Francisco, CA 94080
(650) 952-4220
(800) 526-7906
Fax (650) 952-6819

or just go to the betson website for more contact info. I'm not sure about how much they might charge for a 9200 or the 27" betson imperial, but you might get lucky and catch a sale or something. good luck

I will call and find out the details. I hope that I can keep it under $450, with pick up, (got three kids and a wife who hates video games) If I can find out when a sale is coming I will post it for every one in the SF area.

Lets face it though, you cant spend over a year building a cab and spend $800 bucks on it and skip one of the most important parts. I may just have to save up and stare at my unfinished cab for a while. I had to do that with my home theater system and "oh yea" Halo look great at eight feet wide and a neo six surround system. ( Had to wait 3 years to get all the parts)

I wonder if I call the local seller in SF will he let me know if a sale is coming. I'll give it a shot tomorrow and post my results. $399 sound real good. Thanks for the heads up Divemaster.
