Is it accessible from BART? I'll probably head over to the one in the Mission though. Never been there.

no it's not, it's a long walk from the bart. it's near El Portal Drive exit on highway 80 from SF.

I sold my car when I moved here. Haven't really needed it, even when I lived in Concord. Now that I'm in SF properly, I really don't need it. :)

I would have to, unless someone from San Francisco is driving there and wouldn't mind carpooling.

You are in the Silicon Valley! Surley there are tons of thrift stores that have CRTs! Is the San Jose Flea Market still going on?

Another option is the 1701-1702 Commodore Monitors. The back Chroma and Luma RCA inputs can take an adapted SVideo cable.
