Cheapest 19" monitor and Radeon 9700 pro?

Hello
Can anyone find me the cheapest 19" monitor(crt) and cheapest 9700 pro. Since the 9800 is coming out, the prices should be dropping.

KDS VS-190is is an extremely good monitor that can be had for around $150 on pricewatch. The XFLAT one (don't remember the model number off my head) is really nice for a few more dollars.

By far the best 19" monitor deal imo. Does 1600x1200 @ 75hz all day long (usually have to pay like $400 for that resolution at that refresh rate)

I am also looking at getting an ATI card. I am going to wait a while though. I just built a system for a friend and got him a 9500 Pro for $175. The 9500 Pro has 8 pixel pipelines ljust ike the 9700. The 9700 Pro will hang around the same price until the 9800 has been out for some time.

Personally, I want a 9600 Pro, fast yet cost effective, built on .13 micron etc...I don't see the point in spending $300 for a card that will be half that price in about 6 months. With NVIDIA trying to play catchup, there will be a big price war, like AMD & Intel. I used to be a Voodoo fan until they got bought out. Kinda upset that NVIDIA has wasted that fine technology. Best quality 16 bit card I have ever seen, better than my current GF3 @ 32 bit

Another note on waiting. You will get a better card too with pixelshader 2.1, etc. The improvements handle DX 9 much smother than the current 2.0 versions.

Good Luck :)
