Not from my perspective. You lose either way. Big monitor, heavy EXPENSIVE to 
ship. Little monitor, well not worth much and still expensive to ship.

Lose-lose deal IMHO. There are nice complete systems going for less than $100 
(ok add a little bit for a tube) on eBay. This 'deal' is for unknown hard 
disk and memory.

If the goal is to get a nice system for ones self get on on ebay, if you are 
trying to make a buck on these good luck.
