You'd be surprised.  At them prices I guess they will be picked up by 
folks who want a cheapo PC for the kids room (maybe to replace an older 
PC).  Not sure how much Tescos charge for a monitor, but I'd say for no 
more than about £250 they could get a working system.

Might scare off some, others will no doubt try and get a 'computer 
expert' friend to install XP.  I bet there's a fair few people out there 
though would just see it as a cheap computer.
