ok here it is

Dell 2405 monitor VS 2 7800gt's and 1 viewsonic 19' monitor

I do ALOT of gaming and was wondering what you all thought would be a better purchase for me to make. My current setup is in my sig. I am using an old 19inch viewsonic monitor right now and it is fading on me fast, lots of ghosting and just basically it is dying day by day.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
 
I'd go with option #2. That is, 2 7800GT's and a 19" LCD. I think you'd get more benefit from the dual GPU's then you would from a bigger monitor. And besides, you'd need something more powerful than a 6800GT to run most games on the Dell at it's native resolution.
 
For me, I'd go SLI over the massive resolution. I have to assume that you're more interested in gaming to begin with if this is even a concern, though, because if you need the productivity you'd already have the Dell, or at least the decision--Right? And if you're really in need of some desktop space, dual displays work a little better on SLI, at least for how I used them. Plus there's no way to beat the volume multiple monitors have to offer, no matter how cinematic the display.
 
Thanks for the input, I think I am gonna go with the dual 7800's and the 19' monitor. I can always upgrade to the 2405 later when the price goes down.
