Can this be hooked up via regular old school cable to a desktop?

No. This is not a monitor, it is a replacement part to fix a monitor. It comes with no power, no inverter, and only connects to a special ribbon cable.

Not without modifications. This unit has the old VGA plug from the monitor and into the computer. You would either need a VGA to HDMI adapter, or a different interface unit. I'm sure I saw them for HDMI. I had to really look to find this unit with the old style plug.

You'd need a HDMI to VGA from laptop to this unit, then a VGA to VGA to the desktop. Make sure each end is correct male or female.

it depends on your system. The tower USB port would be a definite. Whether or not you can plug it into your monitor depends on the monitor. I would suggest looking at your monitor's manual or spec sheet, it should be easy to find the manual online at the manufacturers site.

Sure can. I've already done this but you need HDMI. It won't work with a desktop with the old video cables. I had a laptop and plugged HDMI to each. Easiest ssetup. The only downfall is the transfer speed between the HDMI cable to the TV. Its maybe half a second delay. You'll only notice it when watching movies from your laptop but it makes an excellent screen, yes. Maybe to fix that you get a better hdmi cable! Hope this helped

Yes, it does, you can hook it up with the standard red & white typical cables or if your PC has optical connection it would be even better.

I am pretty sure they make this model for desktops as well. It is basically a plug and play for laptops, but I don't know if connections are the same. Sorry I can't be more help.

You will need an amplifier or receiver to attach to your computer thru RCA or line out. There is no way to connect direct with out the amplifier or receiver.

There is a standard VGA 15pin connector to connect to any PC MonitorYou can use a standard mouse and keyboard either USB or mini Din. I actually use Logitech wireless version

Yes, this is a standard cable. Assuming your technology works like mine, that will work.

I would not think this would work for you... connections are straight forward... maybe they sell some sort of adapter???...

Unless your hard drive has some kind of USB 3.0 to the native connection interface this will cable not work. Most newer hard drives have a SATA interface or the case of an external drive, an eSATA interface. You would, at minimum, need an eSATA cable.

This will work if your computer is a desktop with sata wiring. My experience with these is some may shorten out when hooked up

yes this can be used with a laptop or desk top computer with the appropriate cables .

Yes, but be careful most computers nowadays don't have HDMI connectors, so you would have to buy an extension (USB to HDMI)
