A: Yes, any monitor will work provided that you have the right cable (even the fat old white ones). The blue cable you have with 15 pins is a VGA cable, it's a slightly older standard than DVI but is still fine. Just find a monitor with that kind of plug and you'll have no trouble at all. The black power cord will power any monitor- there's a standard that crosses both monitors and computers. (So yes, you could even use it with your computer if you wanted!)
