SGI 1600SW for $ 350... worth it?

[MarkLarson]

Should i buy the SGI 1600SW for a grand total of $ 350? I bid on an ebay auction, and the seller said the high bidder chickened out (the high bidder had 0 feedback.... hmm.... troll?)
So, my max bid was like $ 350. So should i buy it for that much? Of course, it is used, and the seller is one of those "as is" guys. This is why i want to collect the thing in person. I haven't emailed him back yet. However, this is a dammmn sweet monitor, and $ 350 is appealing, even if i don't actually have too much spare money.

Aaargh. Decisions decisions!

Be careful.

There's some sort of adaptor that you need for this monitor. It goes between the vidcard and the monitor inputs. I think it costs around $300 by itself. Do a little googling or you might find that your $350 "deal" will actually end up costing you almost double that.

Sound, and accurate advice! However if you have the Oxygen VX1-1600SW or Number Nine Revolution IV video card, it does not require the multilink.
