I know some schools frown on this, but you can purchase NEW zalman
monitors in the US from Ebay sites (they ship directly from Korea I
think, new in box). Shipping is free if you choose the right vendor.
The price is typical ($500ish or a bit less for the 21" monitor - I
haven't looked a few months). They work fine - I purchased 6 this way
less than 5 months ago. I received all monitors in less than 2 days -
and with free shipping (of course you pay for it in the price, no worries).

Hello CCP4 mail subscribers,
I know there have been previous threads regarding the use of a Zalman
monitor for using coot and pymol on these message boards. I am wondering
if there is a new alternative since the Zalman monitor is no longer being
produced.
I am in a crystallography lab and we are looking for a less expensive
alternative to the SGI work station that just blew-up. We are thinking of
buyng a mac and using something like a Zalman monitor. Alternatively we
are thinking of running Fedora with a Zalman monitor. Thank you for your
help.
