Can you recommend a computer for a 30 inch monitor?

I would like to get a computer that can support the following:
1) A 30 inch screen
2) A 19 inch screen
Preferably on separate video cards using the best possible input on the 30 inch. I'd like the computer to be great in terms of not slowing down for having too much running at the same time. I don't want to spend more than I have to.
I don't know much about PC desktops as I've been using a laptop for the past few years. Your advice is greatly appreciated!
Hey thanks for the answers! Is there any cheaper option than a mac pro?

US $1,125.00
a Mac Pro
it can support up to eight 30 in monitors, four 1 tb hard drives, and 34 gb of RAM!
(it’s the ferrari of computers)
cheaper? your gonna have to go windows than. maybe dell?
a mac, you can get multiple cards installed on it. I hope your screens are dvi input?
any computer will work as long as it has the right connections if your TV is high def it should have at least a S-video plug or a VGA or DVI plus most video cards will have them if its not high def you will have to use the S-video plug but the resolution will be low. if you want to know a good video card try a 8600gt or a 8800gt or a 9600gt or a 9800gt any can be bought at
Tigerdirect.com
or
newegg.com
PS all those card support multi monitors
you don’t have to get a MAC to get a 3o inch wide screen!!
any PC will do the same and better, get any system that supports PCI-e 2.0
then get a graphics card that has a HDMI output.
once you plug that into a 30″ widescreen that also has a HDMI input, you will get a better signal that any MAC can give you!!
hope this helps!!
I suggest going with a lower CPU, and higher GPU.
Suggestion: Dell INspiron 530
Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor E8200 (6MB L2 Cache,2.66GHz,1333FSB)
Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic Service Pack 1
No Monitor
3GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz – 4 DIMMs
250GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
16X DVD+/-RW Drive
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
Integrated 7.1 Channel Audio
Dell USB Keyboard and Dell Premium Optical USB Mouse
Dell 19 in 1 Media Card Reader
And then, upgrade and install an NVIDIA 8800GT (has 2 DVI connections, which are 100% digital, high-quality connections, but make sure your monitors have DVI ports as well), go to http://www.pcconnection.com/IPA/Shop/Product/Detail.htm?sku=8481540&oext=1038A&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=8481540
Then, buy two DVI cables (high quality 6 foot ones here)http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10209&cs_id=1020901&p_id=2686&seq=1&format=2
Total Price: ~829 USD
Good luck! If the video card is too much, find any PCI Express-compatible card, with either 2 DVI ports, or 1 DVI and 1 HDMI port.
