Monitor / TV Question

[Well Oiled]

OK, my brother managed to pick up a real cheap dell PC for me as they were having a clearout at work. I'm gonna set it up in my son's room, which is quite small. He has a TV and PS2, and is getting a Nintendo Wii for Christmas.

So...to the point. I know I can get a TV card, but can I get a monitor that will accept the input from the aerial / set top box and the games console(s), or can I get a high res TV screen that will double up as a monitor, or should he just live with a cluttered room with both TV and monitor?

Any advice welcome

Cheers Keith

Thanks Kwak - did a bit of searching and the 17" ones all seem to start around that price on t'internet. we have a toys r us near us so it might be just right.

Anyone with other suggestions?
