I say you need at least a 29" TV..  I remember the days when I used to have a 
tiny 14" TV, it was hell trying to play games..  especially since in the UK 
we have borders..  I have since seen the error of my ways and upgraded to a 
Sony NTSC television..
 SI> (where I shop) and N64 $150. 
Games for PSX are from $30 to $50.  N64
 SI> $60 to $80.  FYI I shop at FuncoLand 
for my games. 
At EB(& most games shops in the UK) PS games cost 40-45UK pounds (xcept for 
platinum range which is all the old games for 20uk pound) N64 games are 
50-60UK Pounds (except for the gamers choice or something, which is the 
release games like SM64 & Mario Kart plus Tetrisphere which has only just 
come to britain along with the dire Cruis'n Usa for 30UK Pounds)
 SI> that's a lot cheaper than a computer that can actually run Tomb
 SI> Raider 
just like PSX.  Which might cost $700 or $800.
Play it on a decent Pentium, & Tomb Raider is a lot faster than the PS 
version..
Saying that tho'..  I still prefer consoles for games..
