Two 24" Monitors or One 30" Monitor
justrudd: I've got two monitors.  But take this with a grain of salt because I'm not a PC gamer.  I use a console, but I do have the console hooked up via HDMI to one of my monitors.I've got a 24" Dell rotated 90 degrees to portrait.  I have this one front and center so no moving of the of head.  This is where I do all my coding.  Lots and lots of vertical space (which is more important to me than horizontal).  That's the only thing on that monitor.To the left, I have a 27" Dell that has my e-mail, Yammer, and a couple of other "all day" windows open.  I've got the Windows arranged from right to left - most important to least important.  E-Mail is on the far left as I get a lot of e-mail and most of it not important :)I scan that monitor maybe once or twice an hour.  If I'm doing a lot of work on that monitor, I'll swivel my chair towards it and move the keyboard and mouse in front of it (both are wireless).It works for me because it allows me to compartmentalize my day.  The setup cost me about 1300 at the time (900 for the 27" - no sale; 400 for the 24" - cheaper now).
