^^ If u go for good brands 15" LCD will come at around 8.4k . U can also opt for Intex /Proview/AOC etc . 15" monitor .These should be around 7.5k.

If u want 17" then U have no option but to go for Intex/AOC [in 9.5k range] OR STRETCH THE BUDGET A BIT.

Proccy - as i suggestd earlier - AMD Athlon 64 3000+ = rs 3300.
decent performance for surfing /office applications/movies/music.

Ordinary CRT vs Flat CRT
Flat Crt offers better view , is easier on the eye [less harmful 2 eyes due to being flat] .
Non flat CRT cause more damage 2 eye , but are cheaper .

Asus M2N PV MX vs Asus M2N PV VM
M2N PV MX - price 4250 - NO TV OUT
M2N PV VM - price 4750 - HAS A TV OUT PORT WITH COMPONENT/S VIDEO/ COMPOSITE (OUT) ports.

So the prices n specs differ . Go for PV VM if u want 2 hook the TV 2 PC n watch movies on TV . But if PC n TV r not placed nearby , dont bother spending extra 66 bucks .
ALSO , check the prices of MSI K9N GM2 .
It is a board supporting similar n better[sound 7.1] features . Maybe it is a bit cheaper.
