incidently... the parhelia hasn't gotten the best reviews. My take would be that you spend 35$ on a used Voodoo3 PCI 2000, and use that as a third monitor. That way, when the tv takes away your second monitor, you'll still have the voodoo with monitor attached (a chintzy one that is, 1024x768 and 6 years old or so), so then you can still have two monitors and the tv. The parhelia's big point is its 3 outputs and one dvi output (which when used nullifies the third monitor). However, ther 32 and 64 meg version, and i believe the 128, have not gotten the best reviews in terms of performance. Might be more worthwhile to get a little 8 meg pci card instead.
