This one is the one I bought.  I managed to get it for $20 cheaper at the time.

Thanks Dave.

The one thing that I would like to add for anyone who stumbles across this thread is that the video card takes up two spaces because of the heat sink.  I had to move some things around in order to make room for those fins.  Luckily I had the extra ADAT I/O connections for my RME HDSP soundcard in that space so I moved it to make room for the fins.
 

New Egg has it for $109.00 with free shipping.

Yeah I saw that too Cliff.
Dave, None of my PCIe slots are being used so I'm good there.

man does this make my socks run up and down my legs.

That's a strange image in my head now.  Thanks Dave!
 
That setup looks nice, how far away is that 55"?  I use a HTPC in my living room to a 55" 1080P LCD and find high res stuff a little small from across the room.

Yes, it's a 55 in.  I don't use the high res on that screen.  The text look grainy so I use a lesser setting.  If I only had one 55" screen, it wouldn't be workable for me.  It's the combination of three screens that makes it nice.
As you can see from my photo, SONAR is not my main DAW at this time.  I've had SONAR X3 up for a quick look and undocking the windows and placing them on different monitors would be very nice.

That's a real nice setup Dave!
Very inviting!
 
I did something similar. I have 2 dual monitors in front of me at my work station, and a 37" HDTV that doubles as a 3rd monitor.
I use it for dragging some VSTs & other things out of the way to, [but still visible], and I additionally use it to drag my main tracking window over to, when sitting at the piano which is right next to it, as I cannot see the 2 other monitors from there very well.
 
I found that an additional graphics card was the way to go too, but it also required 2 spaces for the heat-sink as well.
Having an ASUS MoBo, I decided to go for an ASUS GT 550 [or something like that - memory challenge from a year ago] for about $79. Well worth the money.
 
Looks like you're all set to go there!  +1

That's an awesome studio, I want one too.

Soon, when my masterpieces are done. Soon.
