Looking for a flat panel LCD, 20" or larger, widescreen only please. Would specifically like one with RCA and VGA/DVI, but not picky as I am cheap. Just has to work. Also looking for old Windows box. The cheaper the better - as long as it runs. Minimum requirements: 40G hard drive, sata, 1GB RAM, 4 USB ports, working power supply, video card (or integrated into motherboard). Not too picky about cosmetics, as I am trashing the case. Cheap is great; free is better. Building a MAME cabinet and want an old machine I can trash to experiment before I build the real one. Contact info below (email is best).

I just gave away 2 boxes and threw away 3 that probably would have worked.  :sad:

I do have a few older P4s laying around if you can find a board.

I'd rather have stories told than be telling stories of what I could have done.

I may have a few 'puters lined up; what I really need is the monitor

Check Microcenter for open box deals as well as newegg. VGA should be easy but DVI or RCA as well might be tough.

But if someone wants to give me one, or sell me one cheap, I can save more $$$
