I bought several hard drive cases from them over the last year.  The seem
like a reputable company.  The delivered when they said they would, the
person I spoke to when placing the order seemed to know the technical details
in which I was interested.

It's unlikely to be a Trinitron.  The picture tube is probably a Taiwanese
or Korean import.  It might be nice, it might not be.

If anyone checks out this monitor I'd like to hear their impressions.  I
was planning to get a Seiko for my new IIci, but  19" color for $999 sounds
quite nice.
