You did not mention monitors but high definition has brought the

you are buying a 30" consider one with Display Ports instead of
DVI. Lenovo's docking station for the W520, for instance, can
only do the 30" at full resolution via Display Port (this was not
an issue with earlier versions). The are DVI to Display Port
converters but the ones I have are not 100% stable (I probably
power cycle it a couple of times per month).

Or, consider two smaller monitors and use nVidia's TwinView (their proprietary
driver)--I haven't tried the open source driver yet.
