    I was poking around in the attic and found my wife's old power mac 7600/120.
    I do not have a crt monitor so I plugged in a old lcd monitor-no picture so do I need a crt to run this thing from 1995.

    if the cpu is white then yes, it needs a crt monitor to keep its white priviledge in check.

    Hey Aldra can you help out?

    it has a VGA port so any monitor with a VGA connector should be fine; the standard is the same regardless of the panel type

    You should maybe experiment with different monitors.

    Trash is where old computers belong.

    Did you know some people pay as much as $400 for old computers? Isn't that crazy?
