My Packard Bell pc tower has packed up.I bought it as a package about 2.5 years ago and it came with AOC N20W flat screen monitor,keyboard and mouse.
As far as I can remember I didn't have any installation discs.
Will I need any if I buy a different make of tower an use my existing monitor etc?
Any help appreciated

yeah you should be able to use the existing monitor/keyboard with your new system - neither will need specific software as both will come with drivers inbuilt with windows.Retired member - fed up with the general tone of the place.0

The answer to your question - yes they should work without any problems.
However, as other posters have pointed out - it may be worth verifying the source of the problem in the first instance, before you decide to scrap what may be a perfectly serviceable system.
