Sorry to hear that Gera.

I know what its like to lose a monitor..

I used to get all of mine at second hand stores. I could find them for $10.00 to $15.00. When a family member lost a monitor (or something), I usually had spare parts to keep them rolling.

:d

By the way, thats a nice looking window on that new avatar!

Better a monitor than a tower gera! You can replace a monitor quickly and say, didn't you needed an upgrade anyhow!

I know Bill, for a minute, I thought C9G had taken up residence. :d

My Hanns-G HX192 died on me a couple of weeks ago. It
was 2 years old but still under warranty. Called them, got
an RMA and shipped it to them for repair.

In the meantime, I went to NewEgg and ordered a new
Hanns-G HX191, which arrived 2 days later.

My repaired HX192 came back a couple of days ago so
now I have a 'backup' :) During the two days I didn't
have a TFT monitor I simply rotated the switch on my
video selector box to route the #2 output from my
EVGA 8800 GTS to my old 18" CRT that I keep handy.

The video switch unit is also connected to my #2, 3 and 4
'back-up' computers...those that were moved aside due
to upgrades over the years :) Should I need to fire one
of those up, I just rotate the switch to connect the CRT
monitor to the desired machine.

One can't have too many CPU's available, IMO :)

( The old #6 sits on the floor next to my chair here and
serves as the mounting space for my X-45 throttle,
which was moved aside when I added my dual Saitek
quadrants )
