Monitor Man

This weekend has been a good one for a hoarder.

I purchased a CRT from Ebay last sunday (Dell M992) for a low fee of £5. However, the same night I saw a post of a website called freecycle, which is where people list items they want to give away for free and people can collect.

I got in touch, and now my monitor collection is bigger.

I have 2x19" CRTs (17.9 and 18.1 inch viewing space, Dell P991, Dell M992) and 3x22" CRTs (NEC Mitsubishi Diamond Plus 220, Formac 21/650, Formac 22/650) and plan to do a write up on CRTs this week.

Do you nerds hoard anything?

I have four mice, and 5 keyboards lying around, but these are by far the most appreciated in my bedroom currently.

These was taken for abort on Saturday.

If you have a CRT, would you please leave manufacturing alias, as well as a model number. Love you.

and an old sweex keyboard that's missing half of the keys :DDD
so u pick up other people garbage?
I currently have over £3,400 of monitor sitting behind me. They all work, and I paid £5 for 5 of them. I'd hardly say that it's garbage. Both formacs are Diamondtron, NEC is Diamondtron NF, Dell is Trinitron, and the other dell is after the trinitron patent ran out, so that will be trinitron tubed too.
Parent
The NEC one is sick tbh
Parent
i dont tie myself to material things
Samsung SyncMaster 959NF user here, the screen goes nuts from time to time, goes to some yellow tone and produces weird stripes occasionally, there's too much red and contrast is almost out but I can't force myself to replace it cos it's awesome

also have a Belinea 17" 10-30-22, SM793s and SM957MB around
Ah, not got my hands on a samsung/samtron yet, doubt I ever will. Where do you store them? :)
Parent
Gief me an oldskool keyboard plx !
Parent
Hey man, that's my IBM Model M (blue sticker, unknown production date), there's no way I'm parting with it. Ever!
Parent
got an extra room that's basically filled with stuff like that, there's old printers, keyboards, mice, speakers, computers and all kind of electronic stuff in there :P

should really start cleaning it :<
Parent
I want a picture
Parent
too ashamed to perpetuate it :<

w00t n1.

I was working at a company couple of weeks ago with moving furniture and stuff. They where cleaning out a school filled with old screens and stuff. And everything was going to be thrown away so I quickly embraced everything I could come over.

So, I currently got 7 screens, looks exactly like those you got up there! No idea what model they are, but it says Belinea, Syncmaster and Samtron on 'em :P
And one of them is a black one that you got up there.
I received around 20 network cables in various size, 5 keyboards, 2 mice, a big TV and 3 quite old computers (formatted them and installed XP, runs with all older games!).

So I can barely get into my room now :<

Been thinking about throwing it all.. Or selling it.. But are people actually interested in buying these sorta screens? I have no clue really when it comes to this.. :P
haha, that's really nice!

Samtron/Samsung are made by the same people, and are REALLY good monitors. What size are they? I'd recommend using one if you're not already, 127hz @ 125fps is beautiful.

I want more, got offered a 19" Compaq last week, as well as a black labeled model M, but I doubt ill be taking the monitor. I pulled my arms carrying these things upstairs, got to review them, then take them to the garage to store them.
Parent
Haha yeah! I had to carry those around for ages. Have finally managed to stack everything up against my wall now :P

The Samsung/Samtron ones seem to be around 20". They're called Samtron 75E and SyncMaster 753s. I'll be sure to give them a go then :)
Parent
What do you use atm :)?
Parent
An LG Flatron 22"... It's for family use though, going to be setting up the other screens in my room coming days :)
Parent
Tell me how it goes!
Parent
Aight, sure thing!
Parent
If you are buying LCD, take 120 Hz models
