I've seen a lot of comments - particularly on TechCrunch - relating to wealth and how much this would cost.

In terms of cost, this sort of setup would not be expensive at all. I bet my Mac Pro and 30" cost more and that wouldn't be considered outrageous. You can buy 19" monitors for $200 a piece now, and the computer the guy has is really low specced (only a P4 and 2GB of RAM) - if it cost more than $4500 I'd be surprised. There are plenty of us with setups that cost more than that.

I'd say this setup is remarkable more because of the time it'd have taken to set up and how original it is.. how many people have an exercise bike built into their setup! :)
