Cheers guys.. i have to say i'm very impressed with the Apple monitor, i was a little worried about the response rate as apple seem to conveniently skip showing it anywhere in the specs.. But after playing some games i can tell the response rate is definitely better than my Samsung 181T was, and only slightly worse than my Hitachi.
As for the hi-fi specs, Yep thats a Nad C350 amp and C521i cd, and the speakers are Kef Q1.. From the limited time in which i've had them setup now, i have to say they are excellent quality, and sound far superior to any pc speakers i tried out (was going to buy the Logitech Z-680's but realised i've never had a room where i could setup the 5.1 neatly, and why not spend a bit more and get some reasonable hifi stuff.
EDIT: oh and i should say that i've still got my Audigy eX in the pc at the moment, so i imagine things will only improve when i get round to my rebuild (watercooling, abit nf7-s 2.0, wd raptor and the m-audio card still to be installed).
That reminds me, i need to take some time now i'm setup to write a brief review of the stuff for Spacey.
