I just got my 1 slot 25", and there's a slightly odd video problem. There is a sort of flickering in the screen (I might try a video of it, but I don't think it'd come through much). It's not really bad, but it's JUST enough to be a slight annoyance. I'm not going to replace the monitor or pay someone to fix it, since it isn't THAT bad.. The monitor is also in otherwise great condition, as near as I can tell. Bright (though the bootup logos seem a touch darker then they should be), with not a touch of burnin.
But, after I pulled off part of the back to check some things (and found $1.77 in loose change ) I noticed the power supply sounded weird. It sounds like a very soft buzzing or something. I don't have much experience with arcade PSUs, but what SHOULD they sound like? I ask, because I've seen screwy PSUs that were the cause of strange visual problems on PC monitors and televisions before, so I thought maybe the PSU is a little screwy. It looks very easy to replace, and if you guys think that might be the problem, I might go ahead and do that.
