I ordered parts for my new system over the weekend but I still need to get me a monitor. Primarily using this system for gaming. I want a 17" or 19" flat screen CRT monitor (black color) in the $150-$250 + shipping range.

my system consists of:

Koolance PC2-650bk with vga/cpu coolers
Asus A8V Deluxe mobo
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ cpu
Visiontek X800 Pro 256mb
Truecontrol 550w power
Western Digital 160gb hd
lite on CDRW/DVD COMBO52X32X52X16
DVD+/-RW LITEON SOHW-832S BLK
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS gamer
1 gig of corsair ddr400 ram

Any monitor reccomendations please?

Those are some 19" suggestions....I'm very partial to viewsonic because I believe they make excellent products. The P series is higher end and has higher refresh rates, which could come in handy if you run games at 1600x1200.
