Well, I hauled my old 46 inch monitor out of storage. It's 6 years old or so, 720p. Hooked it up via HDMI to the 2nd 260 video card...and it worked. It looks HORRIBLE, but it worked. Comes in at some weird resolution like 1170x886 or something like that, but I can watch video on that while...
Right now I've got two Dell 2408 monitors, powered by two eVGA 260 cards in SLI on an eVGA x58 3-way SLI mobo. 12 gigs of ram, an 850 watt PSU and a 920 i7 CPU.
I am mostly playing DDO right now, with ISBoxer running 3 accounts at once - one in a full-screen sized window and two in smaller...
Picked up two Alienware systems. One Red, one purple. The only thing I upgraded was the power supply on each of the systems to the 875. $1450 each, which I felt was a decent price when I parted out everything I'd buy...
Right now my two kids (5 and 3) are playing DDO and Left4Dead with me on an old Dell system and a 939 system I put together a few years back.
I'd like to upgrade my system (x58 i7 with Nvidia 260's in SLI) and get them something that will play games that they want to play for the next few...

Yeah I've been using the old style Logitech G5. I wish they still had the old version, instead of the new blue/cracked colored one.
Newegg had this review up on the Saitek Cyborg - is the g15 much better? Anyone? Anyone?
Pros: Looks great, lots of lighting options.
Cons...
You are forgiven.
Should I wait for the memory and motherboard to come back in stock or should I go with something else? Both those items I am debating seem to be the highest-regarded.
This post follows the information guidelines requested in the sticky posts above, plus I have a budget and I'm picking it up now.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
Yes, even started a few. Had no definitive budget then, however. Now, I do.
And on neither post were...
So what I need:
Video Card(s)
Should it be:
1 EVGA 01G-P3-1286-AR GeForce GTX 280 FTW Edition 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - $504.99 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16814130366)
or

Finally given the OK by the wife to start a-buying. Wife will be going into labor in the middle of December, and I'll have two weeks off after that, so I get two additions to the family this month.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
