Sounds good but don't T-Birds require 300 watt power supplies?

That is a fallacy dadx2mj as I am running a 1 ghz Tbird @ 1106 with a 250 watt PS. PS Antec brand.

They dont require a 300w PS, but its recommened that you have one since ur most likely to pair it up with a good vid card, and those 2 components can draw alot of current from ur PS

You will need more power for that video card. 300 watts are cheap. The illyama monitors are about $265 now MUCH better than KDS. KDS is blurry and won't handle high res at a good refresh rate.

me thinks i'll get a better power supply. But only if it craps out

And also, the KDS has a .24 dot pitch (says Aperature Grille Pitch, me thinks its the same) Its the AV-7TF
Looks damn good to me compared to my 15" NEC POS.

Don't buy KDS unless these people are your enemies. The words KDS and Quality just don't go hand in hand. They are like their price...cheap
