So I'm in the market for all new hardware. My dual 2009 iMac 27's have served me well but it's time for an upgrade.

I am considering either using 2 x 27" Monitors with a vertical resolution of at least 1440 pixels, daisy chainged via thunderbolt to a Macbook Pro. This seems like the most elegant setup and the one that makes the most sense price-wise as the Mac Pro is around the same price as the high-end Macbook pro.

I'm also considering swapping the dual monitor setup for a single 38" ultra-wide curved monitor. It looks sexy as hell but having 2 monitors gives me a little more versatility.

I'm also also considering not buying another computer at all, and just using my Alienware Area 51 PC, along with a dual setup like the above. Its only about 2 years old and should support an ultra-wide but I'm not sure. Of course it will support dual monitors, but what I hate about it is that it won't be elegant. It will be a mess of wires and even worse, I'll be back to running Windows which sssuuuuucccckkksssss but at least I'll save a few thousand dollars.

Suggestions? Pics of your setup? Both?

Cheers.
