I couldn't live without two monitors at work.  The left screen is for 
Outlook (which is usually the source of all work I have to do and where 
the work goes after I'm done), the right screen is for whatever I'm 
currently working on (3D CAD, powerpoint, excel etc).

The monitors are probably the cheapest part, after the PC box itself, 
the laptop, the phone and the furniture it's all sitting on, it really 
isn't a cost worth worrying about in comparison with everything else. 
Even if it only saves you a couple of minutes each day it's worth it.

Not 300, but 50 games of online Poker at once:
