I got mine from Lyco for under $270 including second day shipping and handling. The 14" screen is nice for small fonts like the earlier fonts on AGATE, which you can actually read on this monitor. It has vertical and hortizontal adjust to center the screen and has inputs for video in to connect to your VCR, and include stereo speakers. It has zillions of controls to fine adjust the screen just to your liking... like vertical horizontal size. You do have to get a cable, which you can make, or buy from Quality Computers in A+/Incider. I can give you the pin outs for the two, so it'll work correctly. I had inital problems when I used the pin out of the GS RGB and match them with the Mags. It seems there are two types of ground on the GS pin out. One is GND, they other two which are label GND are actually -12V, I had them all connect together and it did some pretty scarey thing with the GS, making it turn on and off continuously. I finally disconnected the -12V GND and used the correct ground (0V) GND on the GS to the Mag. It's probable better to buy the pre-made one because you won't be saving much money and you also need a mold finish for the DB-15 pin on the GS. The metal hoods on those do-it-yourself ones you get at Radio Shack get in the way and won't let you plug it into the GS.
