at the small office i work 2 monitors, a 21" dell/sony trinitron and a 19"
ctx, have fried on the same system in 2 days. everything connected to that
system including the monitor was plugged into an APC surge protector and
everything else seems to be working fine so i don't think it was a surge.
the tower is a microatx with an asus a7n266-vm motherboard using the onboard
video. any ideas what could have killed those monitors?

Seconded. Capacitor faults tend not to manifest themselves on kit thats
on 24/7 until you unplug them. Get that alot on rackmount
routers/switches.
 
seems an unlikely coincidence when both monitors are a few years old and
have been unplugged and moved before and the ctx dies the same day it's
moved and connected to the system on which the sony died the day before.

Yeah, heard of this but not seen it personally. people have mention about
moving their system from one location to another , then the monitor dying.
Maybe it's dry joints or dirt dislodged ?
