This is a 22inch (20inch viewable) monitor which can be configured at 1280x1024 at 120 Hz

A90: cheap low end 19". Good investment
G220fb: nicer 21" monitor. Also good, supports much higher refresh rates than the A90.

NVidia release proprietary drivers for its cards. Linux drivers for 32-bit and 64-bit can be downloaded from their site.

This is a very fast and stable graphics card. It has an AGP 8X interface.

While not Quadro cards, these are still very good, cheaper alternatives.

GeForce 5600 XTQ -- nice low end card (4000-5000 FPS in glxgears 1600x1200 dual)
GeForce 5950 Ultra -- nice mid level card (~9000 FPS in glxgears 1600x1200 dual)
GeForce 6800 Ultra -- nice high end card (>14,000 FPS in glxgears 1600x1200 dual)

These glasses can handle a very high refresh rate (at least 120 Hz)

This combination provides a very pleasant 3D experience which won't fatigue your eyes.
