you could just buy the base unit as well from comet for 299 and source the monitor yourself.

£418 including VAT and delivery (if you reduce your warranty to collect and return service only).

This includes a 19" monitor, but you can upgrade to a 20" widescreen (Dell™ 20" Black Wide Flat Panel [E207WFP]) for an extra £82!

The Windows XP Media Center edition also entitles you to a free upgrade to Vista Home Premium when it's released. The Windows XP Home edition only gives you an upgrade to the Windows Vista Basic which isn't any good IMHO.
