Howdy, I've got a chance to pick up a black Dell UltraScan P991 monitor for a decent price ~$100. It was new purchase (for owner) around 1 year old. I've use the P991 at work and liked it - felt like a solid 19" crt monitor. It's a shadowmask tube (trinitron) which I like. It would be a...

hey -- thanks for the follow ups. That was my next question - if Ican go with a standard ATX MB, what are my options for heat sinks? I like this swiftech HS (http://www.swiftnets.com/products/mcx462-V.asp), but I dunno if that'll fit in a 1U case. Where can I find "low profile" heat sinks...
