$46 dearer than my first system - almost identical (except I bet the monitor isn't a Samsung) and it doesn't include any speakers.

Not CMV monitor! Had lots of problems with them. Not straight away but after about 12 months a lot of them have been getting what looks like a watermark / screenburn on them.

Go for ViewSonic / Philips / Samsung

Normally I would (see first post) but in trying to keep price down you do these things. You can bet any cheap advertised systems don't come with Viewsonic/Samsung/Philips momitors but rather CMV/AOC/Maya etc.
