If its a 400w generic PSU, I would not try it. If its a decent quality one (seasonic/taga) it should be fine for a while.

A screen is a screen when you are tight on cash...the main thing is that you have one and you can see what you are doing lol. I am running on my 15" at the mo and TBH I do not mind it that much actually.

* EDIT. I like Blow me away actually...but dont worry I wont. I know next to nothing about making vids.....

I loved my old NEC CRT, until it started whistling, then one day it just went totally borked and dies .
The Fujitsu screen I have now is not too great, got a lousy contrast ratio and ghosts quite a bit. Still, it has a nice besel I suppose.
EDIT: Thanks for the link mate. That is quite cheap
