I've been looking for a complete monitor for my Astro City for a long time and recently posted a WTB up here. garou81 had some options available and we finally settled on an MS9 chassis with Hitachi tube. The problem is that he's in CA and I'm in WA, but he offered to crate and freight ship the whole thing up here. Long story short, the monitor arrived well-packed in a wooden box on a pallet at my local YRC freight center. Everything was exactly as described and pictured. Even better, the monitor looks FANTASTIC in person and has restored my Astro back to life! HUGE A+ to garou81 as a seller. Great communication, very honest, super timely, just all around awesome. Thanks Chris, I really appreciate it!
