2 things I'd like to buy:
A *small* keyboard with keys that have a nice quality feel.
A digital signal-receiving tv card, cheap as possible.
Any recommendations for the keyboard, and I don't suppose anyone knows where I can beat £60 for the TV card?
Also, how does normal tv look on a pc monitor, and is there any slim chance the tv card might allow me to bypass the need for a vga box to run consoles on the monitor?
Oh, and while we're here, do you predict tft monitor prices will fall significantly or not over the next 6 months to a year?
Thanks very much.

Does work, but also on my TV card it has a phono input which is the yellow connector of 3 on the casble from the Cube that you plug into the scart adapter. You could get a phono to 3.5mm jack converter as I have for sound, and then you would be sorted.

Supurb :^)
I'll have to check into the TV cards' inputs. Now that I think about it, I figure they'll all have rf ariel jacks (for the tv ariel, obviously!) I've seen adapters for the cube for that connection (and the 64's lead might work), though it is a lower picture quality.
I don't suppose it's possible to use a standard VGA box to run tv through a pc monitor?

Normal tv looks fine on a monitor, although obviously a better quality monitor will give you a better quality picture. Its possible that you will be able to use your tv card as in input for your consoles, i think i can do it with mine.

I dont think they will fall that much, but better quality panels should continue to push down the prices on older models.

Normal tv looks fine on a monitor, although obviously a better quality monitor will give you a better quality picture. Its possible that you will be able to use your tv card as in input for your consoles, i think i can do it with mine.

The PS2 keyboard is excellent.
The one I got with my Linux kit rules, dunno if you can buy them seperately, only problem with it is the US layout :(
