    Is the vga port on the me comp a pci card? if so, just remove the card and insert into the other one. If not, you can buy an adapter or just simply buy a video card that is compatible with your monitor.

    wallace69 - Welcome to the Board :)

    It sounds like you monitor has a D-sub connection and the tower a DVI connection - do they look like the plug shapes shown here ? - the DVI is on the left. If so all you need is an adaptor - pop down to your local PC store - they will know what you need. You can get them as a single moulding rather than this cabled arrangement.
