Anyone own one? I'm wondering if what's "there" lends itself well to completing with a piece of wood or aluminum plate (there's no base):

Cheap, but seller seems a complete moron, doesn't reply in anything approaching full sentences.

Hmm they were never sold with out the base and it has an odd bottom part that locks into said base. Not sure if you could easily make one....
seller says "Condition: New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). " and under his Condition Definitions:
New: A brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (where packaging is applicable). me -> Duh !
There should be another piece of Styro with the base part that was removed for the pictures but is not shown. From the manual: screw holes for VESA stand.
So you could use a standard 100 x 100 VESA stand if need be.
Good news is that it does support DOS modes of 640x350 and 700x400 but be damned if I pay $73 for shipping !
Found my Dell 1908F's with similar specs for about $15 each at a thrift store, used yes but work just fine....
sorry that is all I got to about this ;p

Where I am on the east coast it's only 22$. Seems like a good deal.

And incidentally the max res is not 640 x 480. I think it's 1280 x 1024.
