You'll have to search the used market in your country.

 

[punkncat]

IMO, best to check over on CL or LetGo or Marketplace and hope you can find anything, much less preferences.

You'll have to actually link the listing. I can't make even an educated guess based on this. And it would only be a guess.

Is there a monitor you can find for me. Im sorry I suck at finding used items and sorry for wasting your time.

In the US? Go to any goodwill or salvation army location. Usually a few monitors there available for quite cheap. Goodwill online tends to not be as good.

If that monitor on ebay is functional, it won't stay at that price.

Surely awful, but quite cheap, brand new:

not sure what prices you may find; where you're located, where you shop.

but, there are some lap management options for kb & mouse that offer long USB extension and can be used at the couch, lounge chair, etc.
i had used a Corsair Lapdog quite a few years ago that was suitable but not perfect for sure.
there should be many nicer options available these days.

instead of ditching the TV use, maybe just make the current experience more comfortable for you.

I have to say that our local Goodwill type stores are almost comically devoid of any useful PC hardware, much less a whole PC. The area around is generally middle income or better, so my assumption would be they are getting snapped up before they hit the floor. Even in local pawn shops I don't see much outside of stacks of old laptops.

That monitor price isn't bad, considering. I would say good find on that for the price.

 

[Eximo]

It is quite random. A lot of what I see in local stores is 4:3 and 5:4 monitors to be fair. But occasionally people drop off whole office systems from the last 10 years or so that tend to have at least 1366x768 or 1600x900 monitors. Not ideal, but they are cheap.

Recently went to a goodwill with my father, he bought some speakers for his radio repair hobby. I don't recall specifically what monitors were there, but I wasn't really looking at the time.

You don't trust something you can see and touch at goodwill, but you do trust something you only see a picture of?

On ebay it says the specs

And at Goodwill, it has the model number printed on the back. You can look it up.
And maybe even power it up and see it working.

You can even stay at home and still shop goodwill. My local store does not seem to have good deals on electronics unless it's a toaster. All the better stuff ends up on this auction site.

I found one at ebay for 50$ for almost brand new with the box its 60hz and 1080p

 

[Lisowsky]

I really want this case because it matches my pc build I am going to complete. Everywhere I go its sold out. I think it was a series pc case or I can find it used or a similar one.

 

[Lutfij]

Please don't buy that case;
https://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Computer-Tempered-Cooling-Management/dp/B07J63FBZJ
the front is restrictive and would only mean that your case would be a hot box/microwave for your internal components.

You might want to look at any other meshed front panel case and then slap on some RGB fans to it, with ring illumination. Be Quiet! make some nice fans with ring illumination;

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

its 60hz and 1080p

what's the size, make & model?

and what size and resolution TV are you looking to replace?

Is there a pc case i can buy under 50$??
Also where can i find a red be quiet fan im kinda broke

 

[JohnBonhamsGhost]

Its 21 inch

24" is the lowest I would go, and that is torturously low; like ruining gameplay type of low.
>/=32" is what I would be aiming for with a 16:9 gaming setup.

please add your real budget(what a fun experience in gaming is really worth) and your location so some real input on your options can be related.

I have ben playing kbm on xbox and i have a tv so I have to sit on the floor.

So why don't you just put the TV on a table and sit on a chair?!
