this mite be a stupid question, but as u can see, i only have 2 posts

anyway, im pressed for cash right now, all i need is a monitor and wires and such. my dad bought a new computer so im takin his old athlon 500 mhz cpu and stuff. So here is my question: Im lookin on Ebay and i find really cheap TFT/LCD monitors. Is there anyway you can hook it up to the PC? I know VGA monitor would be the best, but im short on cash. also im wondering if there is a TFT/LCD connector where u can connect a TFT/LCD monitor to the VGA video card in the back of the PC?? thnx
