How do,

I have the chance to get this rig for £750 UK pounds, but has no monitor. Question is...is it worth it...?  Please advise if you can...

Cheers Guv.

A lot of money for a comp but it also looks like a lot of comp you're getting with this.

yeah, seems sound.
I don't like medion. Being a techy, I've dealt with a few of their systems (although older than this). I found that their support website had incorrect drivers too (for two different systems). When I tried to inform them of the issue, they basically said to go here>here>here>click to download (I didn't ask for help, I was saying that the specific download they referred to was wrong!)....

but anyway, it still sounds like a good deal.

Looks good to me.
btw The Guvner if you're after a bargain monitor i'm selling Viglen 17" CRT's for 25 quid.  (Viglen Envy 17DS with built in side speakers) pm me if you're interested.

i have a question, what is the ATI Radeon 9800 XXL?
i only know of the pro, non-pro, second edition, and xt...
but since it is only 128 mb im' guessing its worse then xt?

They say in my link above that the 9800 XXL is confusing people.

Any how, the page is now officially up, people in the UK can get ond (first come first serve) from this Thursday.
