Pigboy - If you look at the monitor ads, the ones that take up less space will in most cases be listed as 'short neck'... This simply means they use a tube that will result in less depth for the particular size tube. Most of them advertise that a 19" 'short neck' monitor is no deeper than a 17". I have seen both 17" and 19" monitors in this category. Most vendors seem to make them, including Viewsonic, Sony, Mitsubishi, and Hitachi. In my book, an LCD is much better, but they run 900-1k for a 15" LCD. The new 18" LCDs run 2600-3500 bucks a pop. Too expensive right now. The LCD from SGI you mention is very nice, it comes with a Number Nine video card as a digital 'packaged' solution, but again, runs around 2600 bucks. Good luck, John

OT Pigboy << The think that bothers me about these CRT things is that they are giant in the back. Ive heard viewlogic (?) makes big monitors that aren't as big in the back. Any ideas on a god quality monitor thats not that bulky and is under $1000? >> I know what you're saying about the outside dimensions of the bigger monitors. I still have a 17" because I don't want to buy another desk. If you have a few good store to compare quality, I would advise this over mail order. You can also get a better idea of the outer dimensions then. Also, check the max resolution available on your video card. If it is 1024 X 768, it will look HUGE on a 21" monitor. You might want to factor that into the price. Good Luck rustr
