thanks everyone, what kind of bitcoins are you pulling in each month with these setups? Also how important is cpu power for mining, or not at all? What I'm asking is should I dump as much money as possible into video cards and disregard ram/cpu, or is there a certain point where that's gonna hold me back?

Here is some of the hardware I'm using. Please don't buy it out:

2 case fans ontop of 2 5830s and a $17 80GB HD

The only problem I had setting it up was that, without the ATI drivers installed, I couldn't see a cursor. If you can't install the ATI drivers without a cursor then you fail the first test :p GL
