17" Compaq monitor for £9.99!

If I find more bargains like that on eBay, I will have built myself a new computer for about £50 I suspect!

The monitor, keyboard and mouse are the bits that the most money should be spent on.
That's all you use to interact with it.
I suspect thats an old fishbowl crt which I woudln't like to strain my eyes looking at for any amount of time.
