im looking for a 15" CRT monitor. Why you ask? Because im using it as a second monitor on my dual VGA thats why! and it won't be used for much more then editing code reading tutorials or finding stuff on the web while editing code. So if anyone knows a place (perferrably a store with a monitor for 110USD or less i don't liek to buy stuff online)

i'v been to bestbuy.com compusa.com tigerdirect.com officedepot.com and officemax.com and circuitcity.com

they all have stuff for like 115USD or up =\ except tigerdirect but dunno why i went to them they only deliver. so anyone know a store that i can go into and buy a monitor on the spot for like the unheard of term of 'as cheap as possible'?

thanks in advance.

and don't say bestbuy becuase you have to pay 180USD or more in cash at the store and then send in a mailin rebate to get that 100USD back or so...money i don't have =(

CTX, AOC and Samsung all do very good 17" CRT monitors for under $100; and they sell from most places, so just pick somewhere really.

Raven has 4 of each brand and size. Plus, he just went to see the new LOTR movie with the CEO of Samsung. They may have had coffee.
So go with what he said.
