I Was Going to Buy My Mac Pro Next Jan Time, But fell into a lot more cash as ive sold my PC's

Here is the Spec Im Getting
2x2.8Ghz Xeon
8GB Crucial + 2GB Apple
500GB Stock
1TB Samsung F1
8800GT
2600xt (if 3)

I Want a Dual Monitor Setup at the very least to with my Mac Pro

Uses
Photoshop,Dream,Xcode,FireFox,Itunes,Adium,IRC,Live Feed,Flash,Email,FTP are normally open constantly sometimes a few instances of the same program. such as 4 windows Of Firefox With Mutiple Tabs

What Would You Choose? Or Have You Got a Dual Monitor Setup And Have Advice?

Setup Idea 1:
2 30inch 3008WFP Monitors

Setup Idea 2:
1 30inch Dell 3008WFP + 2 2408WFP Vertical + 2600xt

you could always get 2 Hazro HZ30WS's - would look better next to a mac pro as they're made of brushed aluminium.

Otherwise, don't know if the Dell 3008 is going to be around much longer - everywhere seems to be out of stock very quickly and there's som talk of it being discontinued due to all the problems it has.

thanks

Badass (of tftcentral fame) has a review model at the mo I believe and should be getting a review up in the next couple of weeks - which is the same timeframe for them to come back into stock (new model is due to start going out tomorrow).
