However, I have no issue whatsoever with someone who feels like spending their money on that particular setup playing with a wider field of view. Being able to see a little more may mean they're less likely to be blindsided, but either way you have the advantage of surprise if you're attacking them with anything other than a knife. Faster internet connection, faster GPU/CPU, more RAM, less alcohol...there's a wide variety of factors and advantage/disadvantages that factor into who kills whom. Drink up and play on!

3 monitor setup are fairly cheap now. 2 of my 3 monitors on my main system are 24" and only cost $150 each. It would be a bit more costly for me run a 5 monitor setup because I'd need about $500 more worth of equipment...maybe more if my 1,000w power supply wasn't enough for 3 graphics cards.
Honest 3 monitor set ups for gaming aren't going to be far off the norm...the biggest problem is probably desk space :P
This are my 2 gaming systems right now.
