Graphics on servers have no impact. My friend runs a CS Source server with onboard graphics, then plays with a 9800 Pro, and it looks perfect. I see no problem...

Iirc, even with 2 processors on the same board, you can't run two windows environments at the same time without some form of Virtual PC type application emulatig the other. It would be nice if you could, would make development a lot easier for some of us.
And why 2 x50" Plasma. I'd understand if they where HDD TV's, but limiting yourself to 2 x (852*480)= 1740*480 resolution, seems a bit silly for the money!
For that amount of money, I'd opt for a HD 30" Apple Display @ £2099.00 = 2560*1600 and HD ready!
BTW, thats a really naff case!
Oh, and the triple head Matrox card isn;t designed to run games!
