What do you do for a living? Lol...I'm guessing this build cost you approx $3000.

@sloppiexx actually, I was able to buy the three AW monitors for $1000 total. Bought all three of them off eBay and have had them for four months now with no problems whatsoever. Best money I ever spent! Now, the cost of my PC itself is another matter - cost me (without the monitors) about $5500.

when did you build that computer? I'm curious because of when the 2600k sandy bridge 3.4ghz came out. cheers

@chronofusion - I started the initial build of this system in March 2009 and have done several upgrades since then. Originally, I had a Core i7 920 and later upgraded to the 980X to better fit what I use my PC for. I didn't feel that it was worth upgrading from the 980X to the 2600K as I do a lot of multimedia and Seti@Home folding and not just gaming. I am waiting for the new Intel socket 2011 Extreme hexacore CPUs and Z79 chipset mobos before I upgrade to the Sandy Bridge architecture :-)
