Someone I know is giving away there monitor because after a powerout in the house it wont work. Should I bother getting it, or is it probably fried? Anyone know the likelyhood that its fixable?

I wouldn't.
Unless you know what you're doing, CRT monitors can be VERY dangerous, with high voltages stored for long periods of time in them. Best thing to do is just send it to a recycling center that can deal with the phosphorus inside of the unit. It'll cost too much to send it to a repair shop, even.
