So... how do I use it? xD Or do I just resell? It's still unopened in package as of right now. I do have a couple CRTs lying around, and I wouldn't be opposed to investing in a better CRT monitor for this...

Although, if I'm going to spend too much on a CRT, I might as well just throw $133 at a Zalman monitor from a shady website |D ( http://cdfi.toolscameras.com/zalman-zmm ... NRDPQ#show )

Also: THAT GUY'S FACE! XD How could I NOT buy it after seeing that?

Those will work with CRTs, but you will need an older computer to run them. Namely you need a 7000 series Nvidia card (or below) and Windows XP with old Nvidia drivers.

Personally, I'd probably take the gamble on the Zalman before investing in antique computer parts.

Really? Damn, thought old shutterglasses + CRT monitor was one of the proposed cheap solutions in my original thread ages ago >: ( http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=13418 )

Actually, there are a couple Zalmans for similar prices on Ebay, and not TOO much more for the 24" model, time to go sell all my blood and buy one |D ( JK, only a couple pints... and just the plasma. )
