I always thought that the high-pitched whine from TVs was because of the
tripler in there jacking up the voltage to drive the picture tube.

For whatever it's worth, I've had a CTX monitor attached to my 486DX-33
system and running for at least 75% of the time now for over 6 months
without a problem.  Now the NCR video card, on the other hand, is really* a
piece of trash.

But overall, I highly enjoy the system.  I just wish there was some way to
control/disable the built-in serial, parallel, and IDE ports on my Goose
motherboard, but I'm getting the impression that that's a lost cause.
