<div class="IPBDescription">(it also came with a computar macheen)</div> yes, I got my new computer I've been ranting about in several threads (see <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=10&t=49802' target='_blank'>this</a>). I'd be psyched, but... I can't figure out where to plug in my monitor... that's right, folks -- I don't know where to plug in my monitor. the monitor cable is a male connector. the place on the computar that looks most like a monitor-pluggy-in-place is also a male connector. do I need a male/female adapter, a new monitor, or am I overlooking something obvious and stupid? monitors plug into the motherboard, not the video card, right? or do they plug into something entirely different -- did I forget to purchase something I needed? I am a nub, but I would think I'd have heard of something I needed to plug my monitor into...

    Mine plugs into the video card, as I'm fairly sure that most others do.

    lol, I figured it out. it doesn't go directly into the video card, but rather, I need to attach some crazy wirey doodad to the video card and connect the monitor, in turn, to that. I was like, "OMJ, 8 USB2 ports, and no monitor porty thing?!?!"

    signing off to see if the sucker fires up.
