Simon, only VGA, which I don't imagine should be a problem right.

Geno,
Can you check what kind of video inputs it has when you do so?
Thanks,
Simon

What about throwing a modern TV or monitor in there and relying on
the software for the CRT effect?

Well I've spent two weekends fighting with the old computer, two
weekends messing around trying to make the video output work
with a RPi, and $60 on video converters, and I'm officially sick
of it. I have a converter board that claims to be able to
output to the old-ass CRT format the monitor accepts, but its
VGA output only outputs, oddly enough, VGA. I thought it would
output old-ass-CRT-through-a-VGA-connector, which is what the
monitor is hooked up to accept, somehow, through some kind of
weird control board screwed into the case in the least
accessible location possible. There are pins and wires on the
converter board I have that MIGHT output the right signal, but
I'm not enough of an electrical engineer to be able to figure
out how to wire the damn thing together and I'm not patient
enough to try.
So if people want to pass a hat around to spring for a new
monitor I'll gladly help put the thing together and make it
work, but I don't have the cash to do it myself. If someone
else wants to solve the video issue I'll take on the software
side of things, but I'm bloody sick of fighting with it. So,
that's it.
