Thats pretty awesome, add a nice pair of speakers and I think you'll have a computer that cost more than my truck.

sorry, can't really get pics, but here is what it looks like:

That's great, if you got some money to burn. I know, what I would use it for. School work on one screen, widgets and games on the other. :cool:

Yeah, very awesome computer! I've been planning on getting a Powermac soon, I'd probably do the same model, but with only 4GB Ram and one screen.

Thats pretty awesome, add a nice pair of speakers and I think you'll have a computer that cost more than my truck.

It's sad, but true. I am often amazed at the amount of "worth" in stuff I have. I gig on my saxophone for fun on the weekends, and I joke that I put $8000 worth of saxes, with a $2800 laptop, into a $5000 car, to go to a gig that pays $50. But, thats why my main job is graphics design!

wow, those screens do look awesome next to each other btw....

simply amazing. I personally feel that the 30" display is overkill unless you truly need it, I am planning on buying a beautiful g5 soon, I hope, it will be great, but I can't see using a 30" to its fullest potential, so I'll get a 17" or 20".

The CompUSA near my house has 1 30 inch on display there and standing within 2-3 feet of it pretty much gives me a headache after staring for about a minute or so. The display is just so large its kinda overkill.

That's with just one, imagine having 2 side by side
