I was asking Kin advice on msn but he didn't seem to grasp that I don't want to spend £8k on 9 monitors that double into a small aircraft and can take my family on holidays.

I don't have a budget as such but want to spend less than £1k, the lower the better.

I want a new desktop with 2 largish screens.

Advice pls.

£727+£218+£218 = £1,163

That sure is £940.
