Is that no maker is providing concierge service for those that need multiple monitors. That is, we all know that any current desktop should be fine except for the really cheap boxes and that we can slide in a better video card with more video ports to get more monitors going.
But I'm encountering folk that want more than the sale. They want someone to get it set up with the 2 or more monitors. I do know companies that do that but it's costly as the support and setup is not free.
It's sort of like your plumbing in the house. Fix a leaky faucet yourself can be a a few dollars but call in a plumber and yes, it's much easier on us but the pocketbook suffers.

Hey everyone, new to the forums.
Hoping to purchase a new desktop within the next month but am not in-tune with all of the features and accessories. Figured I'd employ the help of some of you who, undoubtedly, know more than I do.
What I'll be using the computer for:
Home Office. I'm an editor for a sports media company where I spend most of my time entrenched in spreadsheets. Having the ability to multi-task is key. So I'm looking for a machine that can handle multiple monitors. My ideal set up would be to have two monitors, one touchscreen, one standard, both on my work desk, and then mount an HDTV above those two monitors that I can either watch TV while I work or hook up as a third monitor through HDMI.
I don't do any advanced graphic design work. I'd like to keep my price range somewhere within the $2,000 range for the whole set up.
Any suggestions? Tips?
