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)
