Any monitor. Preferably a 17" widescreen. The only one that anyone is familiar with on here is the Westinghouse Ben used in the tutorial or the gateway 1775w. Because you don't sound really experienced and will probably want to be able to ask about the screen, you better go with one of those two.

Both of the models collinE mentioned are long discontinued, so ebay or similar sites are going to be your only hope. The Gateway is pretty easy to find, if you're diligent in your price shopping you can find it for ~$80 or so shipped.

I know nothing about finding stuff in the UK. If you search any classifieds sites or newspaper ads and still can't find it, then you can either find someone in the US to be your middleman. I'm sure someone would be willing to buy and ship it to you for a price.

Or you could familiarize yourself enough with monitor electronics that you could use any monitor you wanted

you slice off the power board and extend the power brick and put it in, then pull second power line off the main. :wink:
