Quick question,

I currently have 1 x 8800GTX and 1 x Dell 24". I was thinking of getting a second 24" dell. Would a single 8800GTX be able to handle two 24" screens?

Thanks
 
You mean running a game stretched out over both screens?

You can't run SLI and two monitors at the same time, So you would have to disable SLI each time you wanted to run the 2nd monitor.
 
If you have or can afford water cooling this would be the best option rather than spending more. Its close to the best card in the market and when the price drops you could possibly run 2 of them SLI.

Sorry, this is not what I meant to ask. Just need to know whether a single 8800GTX is capable of handling two 24 inch screens.

Very nice!
Are they older revisions of the 2407, or can you get different types of stand?

It looks like yours are clamped to the desk in that pic, very neat! :)
