That's crap.
all that monitor real estate, and they include crappy built in soundcard?
crappy sound, crappy video cards, only an 80gb hd, and if you're gonna spend that kinda money, why bother with a dvd reader only?
put one together yourself for cheaper, and have real parts.

As long as I can run 1600x1200 on each monitor, I'd buy one. Only problem is...most damn flat screen's can only do 1024x769 or 1280x1024

you would run 1600x1200 on a 17" lcd? I might run 1280x1024, but why hurt your eyes when you got three of them (lcd's, not eyes) smile.gif

I run 1600x1200 on my 17" CRT, and my 21" CRT. The 17" LCD should be no different. you would run 1600x1200 on a 17" lcd? I might run 1280x1024, but why hurt your eyes when you got three of them (lcd's, not eyes) smile.gif
In my experience, the LCD screens are to "fuzzy" for high resolutions like 1600x1200. That is why I can't stand LCD screens. They just don't have the image clairty for high resolutions like good old fashioned CRT monitors. But hell, LCD's keep driving the price of CRT's down...so I don't mind them one bit....as long as I can keep my CRT that is!

it would be sweet for gaming. if you've ever played the arcade ferrari 355 challenge, with the three screens, you know exactly what i'm talking about. i'm sure it's REALLY pricey, since it's like the only product like this out there, or one of the few. the computer specs are pretty weak, too. if you need four screens, you definately do enough with your computer to necessitate ddram, dvd burner, and something much larger than an 80gb drive, like a 200+ gb raid 0+5 scsi volume. just my $.02. :-d
