We are considering tp purchase 2 AlphaStation 255/300 Windows NT 
workstations.  The graphics accelerator we plan to get with it is the 
8-plane PCI PowerStorm 3D30 card.  My question is, without knowing what the 
back panel of an AlphaStation 255 looks like and talpha-osfhe type of 
monitor connection exists, can we go with something other than what Digital 
is providing?  They are quoting us a 21" Diamondtron CRT with 1600 x 1200 
at 75 Hz for a price of $2,995.00.  I have bought 21" monitors in the past 
for PC systems at a much lesser price with specs similar to what Digital is 
providing.  What do I need to look for if I want to get a monitor 
elsewhere?  I want to make sure the graphics card is a good match for the 
monitor.  Any suggestions on specific monitors as well, would be 
appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
