Looks good I dunno nothing about the mobo, but I'd trust MSI's mobo's. KLE133 is basically VIA's 810, ie no AGP slot so it shopuld be great. I have no clue about the monitor.

I think Dell is having 5% off and free shipping for their monitors right now. Check it out.

I just built about 50PCs on the KLE133 chipset (Socket370) and they are great. Very easy to work with and perfect for a budget system.

Mine was the following:

Intel Celeron 733
256MB PC133 SDRAM
10GB Quantum 7200RPM HDD
Integrated Trident Blade 3D Video
Integrated AC97 Audio
10/100 Ethernet
Biostar PLE133 Mobo w/ 686B Southbridge
Enlight mATX Case w/ 150W Power supply (The case is tiny so great if there are space issues. The power supply is on the AMD appoved list)

No CD, Floppy, KB, or mouse.

All for $275 shipped.
