Hello all - This isn't specifically SuperMacs-related (even though I have an s900 myself), but if anyone wants to pick up a SONY Trinitron 17" monitor "on the cheap", read on.
Best Buy has the SONY HMD-A240R 17" Trinitron monitor for $150, with a $50 rebate, bringing the final cost to $100. The A240R looks to be a unit that was designed for sale with the SONY "VAIO" line of Windowze computers, but it should work just fine on the Mac side. I can remember not that many years ago contemplating paying $999 for a SONY Trinitron (I didn't). When I finally did spring for a 17" monitor, I paid $450 for a SONY 200GS and thought I was getting a deal <G>. So.... $100 for a 17" SONY these days is a bargain to grab, even though it seems these days that everyone is "pushing LCD monitors", no doubt for the higher profit margin therein. The rebate is in effect until 3/31/03. Not sure how long the sale price at Best Buy will run for. Also, the local Circuit City has the same item for $250 (before the rebate).
