There is a good graphics card for 1040 from Matrix GmbH...
If I remember correctly 800x600 with 256 colors on a 14"/16" multisync.

I currently have one of these towers, and I am quite satisfied, altough
there is a Mega 4 inside, not a 520 or 1040. There is well enough
room for my two seagates, laser controller and two floppies with HD-interface.
And they are cooled down with 3 thermo-controlled fans.
I am just looking forward to fit a Delta Modul in...
