Re: [TCLUG:5168] Monitors

[Ben Kochie <ben@nerp.net>]

I don't mind some hardware questions, but they should pertain to linux
specific questions.  As posted before, General Nanosystems is allways a
good place to try for hardware.  Computer Renaissance is also a good
place, if you know what you are looking for, and know what it's worth.
As for reapir.. a 15" monitor is not worth repairing in general.  it will
cost anywhere from $50 - $100 in labor alone, not including parts.  some
places charege $50 wether they fix it or not (new 15" monitors are $150)

Please, in the future, turn off HTML, and other attached messaging.  many
of the members of this list do not use GUI email clients, and it makes it
a bother to read email in html format

Thank You,
        Ben Kochie (ben@nerp.net)

Does anyone know of a local place to fix it at a price reasonable enough to justify doing so?  I really liked the monitor, but could probably replace it for less than 150 if I needed to.  It's one of those 'waste not want not' things.

I mean, it's great to have local computer usin' folk to ask such questions of, but I would understand if there are folks out there getting kinda cranky about sifting thru all these hardware posings in their os mailing list.  Does this really offend anyone, and is there a better place to take this?
