eMachines AMD Athlon 2650e 1.6GHz Desktop Computer (EL1200-01H) can i hook up a vga monitor to this

Ah, I see why you're asking this question.  Looks like the description isn't exactly accurate.  I have yet to see a computer that does not have a VGA output.  This is required for you to use a monitor with the computer (obviously the computer would be useless without a video output).  So even though the description says it doesn't have a VGA output, it does.

I hope that answers your question.

Just to expand on Kryptos response, there are indeed computers without a VGA port, they come with DVI instead.

However there appears to be a typo on the website because it says:

DVI Output NoVGA Output No

It'll have one or the other. If you need VGA and it comes with DVI you can always buy an adapter.

Theres definitely someting wrong with the description. Typos are known to happen, what good is a desktop tower without some sort of video output?

LOL

Thanks for the clarification Dave - technology is finally advancing (this also means that those older monitors are also going to have to be replaced).  I still haven't seen any pre-built computers without VGA, but I just might not be looking at the right ones!

Regardless, based on the price of this computer, I'm 99.9% certain it will have a VGA output.

Lemme fill in the last 0.1% of doubt -- the mini-eMachine does, indeed, come with a VGA output.
