fyi - a monitor isn't *necessary* - unless you want to run VGA
resolutions, of course. You can hold down select + R2 to select
PAL when booting for install/running/the lot.

I've had good experiences with Iiyama & Eizo monitors supporting SOG.

Dabs.com price for 17" crt is 155 inc tax for VM Pro 413.
Manual at http://www.iiyama.co.uk/pdf/VMPRO413.pdf 
states SOG, so it looks good.

I'd check their manual specs to be totally sure but those are two 
suggestions for manufacturer.

<insert general apology for the SOG issue on behalf of SCE>

As an aside, the "Blaze" VGA sog adaptor thing does work, but the quality
isn't great IMO, I'd advise against it if you're at all picky about your
picture quality. It's about 17 quid though, cheaper than buying another
monitor. Up to you. happy to see interest in the kit though ;)

have fun,

Sarah.
