and tell me what is the name of the white cable on the right hand side?
is that used to connect my 17"crt monitor to the cpu on the case?
Answers:
that is an extension cable.
i call them kettle plugs, and yes that is what you use them for
Very old style but yes that is correct
This cord is a power cord and can be used two ways. One, usually older style method of using it is to plug it in on the back of your computer's power supply. The older style power supplies would have 2 power plugs, one to plug in to your outlet, and the other to plug your monitor in, so your monitor would come on when you powered your computer on.
The other way to use this cord is as a regular power cord extension. You would take a regular cord, with similar ends, except one would be the one that plugs in to your outlet, and entend it by plugging the white one in on the end.
This cord has nothing to do with transmitting video signals to your monitor.
Hope some of this helps.
Thats just a 3pin power cable extension cable m8.
You dont need one of those, but you do need a very similar one which just has a wall socket plug on for your monitors power. Which looks like this:

The cable you require for connecting your monitor to the your computer looks like this:

-⌐Myrage¬- is correct. The cable you identified is for an old AT style power supply, where you could extract power for your monitor. This type of power supply is no longer available ... unless you visit a shop or computer fair that specialises in older systems.
What you do need to power your monitor is another cable similar to the one that takes the power to your tower. It'll have a plug on one end, that fits into your mains socket, with a connector on the end just like the one that fits into your tower.
The cable you indicated can also be used to extend the power lead to your tower if you're too far away from the mains socket.
