Wow! I'm jealous already! A 550 watt power supply seems like a lot, but it depends on how much you plan to add to the system. I'm not sure how much they charge for the monitor, but there are a lot of good 19 in ones available. I use a ViewSonic G90f which can be had for about $300.Whatever you decide, be sure to post after you get everything to let us know how it all works.

b747,You've received excellent advice in this thread, and the Falcon system sounds great. Now here is my one piece of advice that's missing from this thread. For under $2,000, you probably can assemble a similar system from scratch. I understand that you don't want to build your own, and this can really be pretty intimidating. But there is an alternative. If you look around where you live, you may very well be able to find a local computer store which will sell (individually) all of the components found in the Falcon system, and will assemble the system for you. We have at least one in San Diego, so they must exist elsewhere. Finding these may take some homework, but ask around since they do exist. You may even be able to find an online service that will assemble the system and ship it to you. Then with the money you save, you can buy a second computer, set up WidevieW, and then whamo, you're hooked. Have fun :-wave.
