Im also considering removing the 32" widescreen ( panny crt, our 42" lcd replaced it lol ) from her bedroom, and getting her a smaller ( in bulk, maybe still 32" ) lcd, with the thought of connecting the pc to it ..
If I select no monitor ... the system is £380 delivered ..
very tempting

And chances are, Ill be putting my slightly better 8600gt, and 4gb of ram in it, and swapping them over, then the quad will crunch 24/7
