o ok thanks but does it look decent? the overall desktop

Langers2k7

Yeah it looks great if you can get it in your budget.
I live in the UK, and that system would cost around 400 Pounds ($800)
You get such good deals there ^^

Looks good, but I saw no mention of a monitor - is there one included/do you have one already or will you get one separate?
