Thanks everyone for your input and wonderful advice. So I have decided to keep my DA 733mhz Power Mac which I got for a steal btw. I got it used for $25 because it had no HDD and had only 256MBs of RAM. I got it to it's current state with spare parts around home. I will save up for a 512 MB stick of RAM or two and forget the Emac. I also found someone selling an identical Blueberry G3 monitor to the one I needed to replace. :-) I love those monitors. They are big and weight a ton but they have better picture quality then most midrange LCDs.
