In the case of your monitor, it would seem to have an automatic voltage selector built in, as you said it says "AC 100-240V" - meaning it should be capable of adapting to any voltage in that range. As for the PC, it says "115/230V", which would assumably mean that it can handle either 115V (USA) or 230V (UK), and so suggest there is a switch there to change the voltage to one of the two options.
So basically, as I said before, just go to your local pound/dollar store (I don't know if you are in the US or the UK right now), buy a US-UK plug adapter, make sure it has a 13 Amp fuse, if it doesn't, buy one and fit it to the plug, then plug your PC and monitor in, flick the voltage switch on your PC to 230V and you should be off an running.
EDIT: Just before I forget, if you have to buy one US-UK plug adapter per item (i.e. one for the PC and another for the monitor), make sure that the monitor US-UK plug has a 1 Amp fuse in and the PC US-UK plug has a 10 Amp fuse in, as that is what you said both appliances are rated at. Sorry if my previous advice confused you, but you'd use a 13 Amp fuse if you had some kind of multi-plug to a single plug adapter, and then plugged this into the US-UK plug adapter.
For reference, this little red switch is the voltage selector on a PSU:
