Derekcat Junior Member USA 342 Posts	Posted - 07 Sep 2003 : 17:48:08 the title says it pretty well I think… could it be a lose cable? [the cable that connects the top to the bottom was DCed during shipping, I know that] Also, is there a way I could use an external monitor with it? [it has the modem card, but I dont see a monitor slot…] I might be interested in doing something weird/cool to it [hack: paint, custom case, something maybe like that? Since It's missing all but one of the case screws] Thanks If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

And about video out, unless you get an ultra rare external SCSI -> Video adapter, it can't be done.
