b1gapl Mod Emeritus Messages 13,044 Location USA May 17, 2006 #1 Yay I got a 17" and 20" CRT for free to replace my broken one. I was wondering, if I decide to run them both for dual screen, will my 400W power supply be enough to power them? I'm assuming the 20" takes alot of power. What do you guys think?

OP OP b1gapl Mod Emeritus Messages 13,044 Location USA May 17, 2006 #5 Wow those 22"s must be as heavy as ****
OP OP b1gapl Mod Emeritus Messages 13,044 Location USA May 17, 2006 #6 Is there a way I can have the two monitors, each running in a different resolution?
