Re: Help with new purchase

Will I be able to run two monitors off any new PC (I believe this involves the video card??)or do I need to meet certain hardware/software requirements.

I suggest reading the zoo FAQ again for some answers to this. FWIW if you purchase a cheap dual out pci or agp card and use this with a system that has an onboard card you can have 3 monitors if you like.
Many 17" monitors won't handle high enough resolution to even 2 table w/o overlap so make sure and know the max res when you bargain hunt. You can also find reasonably priced 19" CRT's if you search hard.
I personally found a 17" from a friend free and got a 19" from a company sale for $40. I purchased an emachines PC with mail in rebate from circuit city that i found on fat wallet for ~$350. With a video card from new egg (~60) I can now run 6 tables with no overlap and PT and GT+ just fine for under $500 total.
