I've heard good things about the Samsung 226cw for gaming but it's widescreen and I haven't used it myself.

Just built a media/gaming pc for the lounge and got a new Sony 32" LCD TV which is great for Call of Duty 4.
Got two 19" wide-screen Samsung LCD's in the office which I've occasionally used for games which are great.

Any well known brand LCD with a decent response time is going to be fine for gaming these days, even a lot of the quality 12-16ms. My 22" Dell WS is ~16ms IIRC and is fine!

I've got quad Samsung SyncMaster 226BW's which have a 2ms response, they are very nice bits of kit.
The problem is that I could only fit three side by side on my desk though

Best way is probably 2 x PCI-E graphics cards so you have 2 x 2 ports.

www.overclockers.co.uk specialise in gaming 'nuts' and their products tend to reflect this market. Of course then there's always Tom's reviews...

Any card with Nvidia is gonna do, if you're not bothered about performance as such, then an 8600 (or pair of) will do you fine.

Most decent TFT monitors will be good enough for gaming these days. I have a 22" viewsonic that cost me £350 odd last year and it's perfect.
Bargin bin TFT's probably dont apply.....
