It might be a great deal or a somewhat dubious deal. What is the brand and model number?

I'm not familiar with that one. If it has a good, sharp edge to edge image,and is rock-stable at 1024x768x85Hz or 1024x768x100Hz, then it's a fine deal. Even if not, you won't find decent monitors for much less than about $160, in general. So you did not do "bad", no mater what.

A year ago I got this ADI Provista 17" that will do 1024x768x32 at 85 hz for $100 from my boys down the street. You can always get a kick ass deal if you know the people. If I had the money -which I don't- I'd go get one of the LCD monitors. But alas, hourly wages just won't cut it when you want to get top-of-the-line.

Sometimes I go to the local computer store, stand at the displays with their newest stuff and just drool, that's right, I just drool..... Huge TFT monitors, computers that actually look good with all the stuff in there that I want: 1Gb of memory, I WANT IT! 80 Gb of HD, I WANT IT! Kick-ass video-card, I WANT IT! Huge TFT monitor etc. I WANT IT ALL...........

Well, there's always the five finger discount, Civ1-addict. 
I know exactly what you mean, dawg. When I went down to replace my video card I spent ten mintues wondering if I could put a brand new GeForce 4 Ti 4600 on my credit card and be able to pay it off before the interest nipped me in the butt. Fortuneatly, the brain kicked in and realized that $400 was too much to pay for a video card. Maybe next year...sigh

I felt the same... year after year. Eventually I decided to buy the best card possible and replaced my damn Voodoo3k with an MSI Geforce 4 Ti 4600.
But I still can't stand that huge annoying 17" MAG Innovision monitor.
I want a 17" LCD. But absolutely no money for that... I spent my last dime. more or less.
I'm going with the Ti 4200...going to buy it pretty soon...few more days and it will be flying to me.
Oh, 179 doesn't sound horrible for a monitor...I can find a no namer online for 112$ that does 1024x768x32bit@85Hz....but the shipping to your country would kill that price, if they even ship to there (I think they are US only). It all depends on the market.
