I'm sitting right now at work with three monitors 2 1/2 feet from my
head. From left to right: 14-inch laptop built-in LCD, 21-inch CRT,
15-inch Dell LCD. From corner to corner is roughly 40 inches. This
setup causes me no neck or headache problems. The only occasional
problem I have is that the CRT is a little fuzzy compared to the LCD
monitors.

At home I ahve the same Mac as you do. I have a 17-inch and a 20-inch
LCD hooked up to the original graphics card. Head-to-monitor distance
is also about 2 1/2 feet. Both displays are Dell (1705FP and 2001FP, I
think). I cannot compare them to other displays, but I have no
complaints about them.
