Damn, I think I screwed up my video card. I was replacing the heatsink (the fan broke) and things got a little rough. I put it back in after everything was installed, and the VGA output was blue (red is gone). I tried using two different working monitors and they lacked blue.

The thing is TV-out is perfect.

I don't have a monitor with DVI-in, but I'm wondering if it is likely that it will also be fine (like tv-out). I'm thinking about getting a dvi-crt convertor and proceeding with business as usual.

What do you guys think?

due to overwhelming interest, I thought I'd give everyone an update, just in case anyone else runs into a similar issue.

I went ahead and bought a dvi -> crt convertor on ebay and lo and behold! It works!!! the blue cast is only on the vga native connector... DVI + TV-out both work. I'm happy as hell, although I was a little stoked by the idea of getting a 9800... :)
