Yeah the 1600 SW... it's the only thing that can dangle off that port 
as far as I know.

Known good monitors from another system have been tried, and the 
interference appears the moment the unit is powered on.  It's about an 
inch tall and on a black screen it looks like someone put the 
Hamburglar in a blender.  It travels about 2 inches a second up the 
screen from the bottom and starts again.  It also varies in width and 
look as it travels up.  On a standard NT blue background desktop it's 
only moderately visible looking like more intense blue stripes/grey 
washout.

On the shutdown grey-out it's also very visible.
