Re: Which Monitor?
i cant help with the brand name part but i can say this;
popular screens are the ones with inbuilt speakers, i can tell you its a lot easier to merge psu's if you pick a screen that has its own power brick. (older ones)

Its own power brick? It doesn't matter, most screens run off only 12v or 12v and 5vdc. Not too hard to run from a 360 PSU in my opinion. (I will be using a 175w power brick on my jasper/screen, though)humakabula1 wrote:i cant help with the brand name part but i can say this;

If it has it's own psu you don't have to cut the screen pcb in half to seperate the power part,
it's all in the psu, plus you can simply splice the power cables together

I've never had to do that in my monitors, the PSU was seperate from everything else. It's all about the monitor, I guess I just got lucky

Well I bought a Compaq s1922a today because it was the only 18.5" the local best buy had with built in speakers and jack. I went with best buy because I had a gift card that covered 80% of the cost $-)
I'll crack it open later this week and see what I have to work with. Here's hoping!
