Does the CRT have a lump-on-a-rope too? BLEEEECH!!!!!!!!! :p I may just avoid that Bondi Blue (?) POS I spotted in that case!
AH I had a feeling you were talking about a CRT, whereas Anonymous Freak's "booger" is an LCD. Does your quarry look like this?

'cause that's a 17"er. (16" viewable, so easily mistaken for a 15"er I guess) Nice specs, too; hardly a "POS", with that Mitsubishi Diamondtron tube and all. I'd grab it. If it's working that is.

According to everymac, there was no 15" Studio CRT

Personally, I'm absolutely delighted with my new shiny pixel pump :D .

Last 'o the Apple tubes, and the only one with ADC.

Many might bag ADC as a misguided effort - I have myself. But with my display hosting and powering my H/K 10W ball speakers, my keyboard and mouse, and (some day) my iSub, there is but one umbilicus trailing back to the Cube for everything, including monitor power. Add a USB DVD drive, and the computer might as well be in another room - which for audio engineers is often a good thing. Call me a latter day ADC convert.

IMHO their big mistake was making ADC proprietary - and one they should have learned from the AppleVision connector fiasco. I see they've learned their lesson with DisplayPort being an open standard.

Ah, offtopic again ... where where we ... ADB ... ADC ... what comes next? :p
