You really dont need to use a monitor anymore for PC's..
I've just finished decorating my living room and now have my PC tucked away in a corner, in silence, and have 1x50ft dvi-hdmi running to my 42" 1080p screen and a 50ft toslink running to my amp beneath the telly.
This efectively means I get my monitors image to my TV screen, and my PC's sound comes through my surround sound centered around the TV.
For control, I brought a bluetooth DiNivo Logictech combo so I can sit on my couch with keyboard on lap, and have the mouse by my side. Works perfectly.
The cables and trunking to hide them, and the keyboard with mouse all came in at less than a £100 so if you have a similar setup, i'd say its well worth the outlay. Plus, you can playback hi-def goodness to be big screen, and use it as a true media centre. Tis classy.. if you like that sort of thing
That said though, I also enjoy playing on my 360, but only for exclusive titles. For anything on both systems, the PC wins hands down in my opinion. If the spec is there of course..
