Anyone know of any Plasma screens that i could plug into DVI slots? I want a 3 screen setup for my computer, and was planing on 3 8ms LCDs, unless i can find a decent plasma setup
 
You do not want a plasma tv as a computer monitor, trust me I speak from experience. There's so many reasons not to, the main one being burn in.

He's right. I own a Panny 50" plasma and there is a 100 hour break in period.....primary purpose to prevent burn in. Even after that you are cautioned not to display static images on the screen for long stretches of time.
 
Burn in isn't so much the problem anymore, but it is a concern. The main problem is resolution. A 42 inch HD plasma will be 1024x768 or something close to it which means you're going to have to be sitting 6 feet+ from the screen not to notice the screen door effect.

Just grab two of those 24 inch dell LCDs, or a couple 30 inch apple cinemas.
 
On the two displays, how do they work for gaming.. i dont really want my cross hairs in the middle of two screens. Thats why i was thinking 3, have the cross hairs on the middle one, and prehefrial(sp?) views on the side two.

There is only one card that did the 3 Display gaming that you are talking about.. .the Matrox Parhelia.

It worked (a couple years ago) with a few games... but driver support was crap and overall speed of the card wasnt all that hot.

Compared to todays Cards and Games its a dinosaur.

Just get a 24" LCD for Gaming.. thats the best your going to get currently.

Or you can get exotic and get an Apple 30" LCD and use a Workstation Caliber Graphics Card...
