Well i dont know about the UK, but here all the stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, and all other electronics stores sell 17"-18" CRT's.

Just to point out, two 17" CRT's arent that good for a dual-monitor setup, mainly because theres a 3-4" gap between the screens when there next to each other.

Didn't you read what he said? They're for 2 computers, so not dual monitor (I'm assuming)

Anyway, what is your budget?

EDIT: Heres the cheapest on newegg:

i have about a 1ft. gap between mine. i prefer one to be in the middle since it switches out of dual monitor mode when im gaming, but the extra desktop space is kind of cool... the gap doesn't bother me.

Yeah when I look for something i search the select "buy-it-now" then "price - lowest first" its the best way to catch a fast deal.

Schools often sell old monitors cheap when they're buying new LCD's to replace the old ones. My school has about 10-15 CRT's just lying around, wonder if I should buy one?
