hmm, at least in the US, usually those monitors (or other equivalent DEC 
monitors, any of the 1024x864 ones will do, VR260, VR262, theres a 16 
inch mono one as well..) are usually available free, theyre being thrown 
out quite often. 
As for a PC monitor, any really good multisync that can do sync on green 
(the good sonys, mitsubishis, and NECs do for example) can handle the 
signal. just run the line to the green jack on the monitor. If you dont 
need the graphics, you can do a serial console as well.
