Thank god for Goodwill! now what...

I did a little bit of monitor shopping today

First I stopped by a local Funcoland and was lucky enough to find a used Dreamcast VGA adapter. "Yay!", I thought. This saves me alot of Ebay trouble.

So, then I go looking for a monitor. I saw some decent, cheap monitors in the 17-19 range. And then, on a whim, I made a Goodwill stop. And then, I saw it. It almost had a spotlight shining over it with heavenly music. A Commodore 1084 Monitor, still in the box with the styrofoam. It was $5.35. Yay!!

So, now I have a dilemna. Do I keep the VGA adaptor and look for a larger monitor to run 4:3 games through?

And, just to set the record straight, what is better?

VGA or RGB?



(Note: I may be considering getting a monitor in the 27-33 range to run all my gaming systems into and using my 32" HDTV monitor just for DVD's and XBOX)

lucky fucker.

RGB is better for the DC in general, no heavy pixelation on games like Street Fighter, Mars Matrix, etc...

How bout other systems like SNES, genesis, saturn, n64, psx, PS2, NEOGEO, GCN, Turbo Duo?

Hang onto the vga for stuff like Soul Calibur, Shenmue II, etc.; 3D games look WAY better through it. Nice find on both, though.

Fuck me. So I think $50 shipped is a deal and then some on a 1084S and this guy walks out of Goodwill with 5 less dollars and a complete monitor.

I'm doomed to never really win.


Yea, nice fucking find.

Nice deal man.

Im going to Goodwill today. :)

I was just given a free monitor.

About a month ago, I saw an ad in the paper where someone was giving away an Amiga 2000 with Video Toaster and monitor. I called them, but they already gave it away.

Either that guy is the nicest person on the planet, or a complete moron. The Video Toaster alone is worth well over $500 on E-Bay.

get both.

A couple weeks ago I scored an almost-new X-Box big controller for $10 and a brand-new set of X-Box S-Video cables for $2.00! :D

I'm gonna swing by again before too long and see if any more goodness has made its way there :)
