GeForce4 SLI mobo with 2 Quadro FX 4400 cards running in SLI. Each 4400 has a pair of dual-linked DVI ports, allowing a total of 4, I repeat, 4x 30" Apple Cinema Display to be driven simultaneously! So for less than $20k, I can buy heaven!!! :-D (Too bad there's a big a$$ border that can't be gotten rid of, else 60" at 5120*3200 resolution mounted on the wall... *drools*)

30" Apple Cinema Display $3.3k + tax per unit
Quadro FX4400 $1500/ea
GeForce4 SLI computer ~$2-3k
total: ~$20k

Disclaimer: This is not meant to troll. I've been a long time Apple user and worked for them. But due to major/work reasons, I had to get a PC, so I'm showing my support through buying a 30" Cinema Display (driving it with ATI FireGL X3 since that's cheaper than FX3000 and higher performance)
G4/450, T-bird 1.05GHz, iBook 500, iBook 233...4 different machines, 4 different OSes...(9, 2k, X.1, YDL2.2 respectively) PiA to maintain...

You certainly can't loose with a 30" Cinema Display.
