Sony VAIO VGC-RC310G

 

The RC310G sits in a case similar to those of the RC series systems before it: a dark tower with slick chrome accents. I particularly like how the backlit "VAIO" logo shines through the case while the system is powered up and virtually disappears when...

Correction to specifications above

Um, there is no VGA input. Sorry, but it's DVI all the way. At the moment I'm pulling my hair out trying to discover if there's any way to connect a VGA display. Bought a DVI-VGA adapter but no luck - there seems to be something about DVI-I and DVI-D...
