    And what about those additional "keyboards"? How essential are they?
    I don't think "dream" and "sub-$2000" belong in the same sentence for a computer. I sunk around $4500 into my dream system 9 months ago.

    However, an "ideal $2000 multiboxing system" for me would be:
    $358 (currently down from $518) 2x Dell 24" ST2410 1920x1080 LCDs
    $420 AMD/ATI Sapphire Vapor-X 5870 videocard
    $250 1366 X58 motherboard (Asus/Gigabyte/DFI)
    $290 i7-920 CPU
    $160 6GB (3x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 memory)
    $300 Intel X25-M 80GB SSD
    $175 High quality power supply (700+W Seasonic.)

    ..whatever case, mouse & keyboard to get you by.. and whatever old hard drives you have for extra storage.

    Future upgrade:
    Add another 3x2GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 memory. $160
    Add Dell Ultrasharp 2410U monitor (has DisplayPort) for 3x Eyefinity. $549 (down from $599)
    Ex-WoW 5-boxer.
    Currently playing:
    Akama [Empire of Orlando]
    Zandantilus - 85 Shaman, Teebow - 85 Paladin, Kodex - 85 Rogue.

    Definitely going to 4-box Diablo 3 after testing the beta for how well this would work.

    Looks like Killer NIC sells for under $100 on Newegg and I'm pretty sure I can get it for even cheaper at a local store, would it be worth it for that price if I don't download torrents and have a US$2K machine?
