basically dnt have space im my room for a monitor and i have a tv, is there any way of connecting it via scart or any adapters so i can use the tv as a monitor?

you can probably do it using component leads depending on the age of the TV i would have thought dont know about scarts tho :S

check the back of your graphics card if there is a s-video out ( most graphics card's do now days) then yer just plug it into your telly and it should work unless the telly is high def tho u will only get about 800*600 res tho

yeah or if you have a older tele see if your graphics card has tv out

yer the resolution on the older TVs is shocking compared with PC monitors, I used a tv once as a 2ndary monitor, just to show my music playlist, worked a treat
