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
