The case is cheap. I installed the blue and white LEDs myself.
EDIT: I have upgraded my gt 440 with gtx 550 ti 3 gig

2 monitors for one machine?
yes. Dual monitors great for multi-tasking especially when browsing the web.or i can play a movie on one and work on the other. Advantages are endless

Running games or movies on multiple monitors at once requires a minimum of 3 monitors of the same size. I have 2 and one is 19 inch and the other is 16 inch.
BTW nVidia does support this

AMD Eyefinity works fine with two, but movies work best on one generally, because the aspect ratio is generally pretty well matched with one, and games work best with odd numbers so you can have a central screen - otherwise the crosshairs are split between the two (middle) screens on shooters, and so on.

Eyefinity and similar is only decent with displays in odd numbers as hounsell suggested, otherwise you do end up with crosshairs (i.e. your aim being split down the middle). 3 monitors you can have surroundings on your first and last monitor while you aim on your middle monitor. Makes a good gaming experience, better than a single large screen that's for certain.

Looks really good! certainly blows my first build out of the water And i agree, 2 monitors are grate, i had a smiler setup for halo map editing a while ago, made life easier (not to mention easier to get distracted )
