How many monitors do you all have? I currently have 2 20" with a third one on it's way.

EDIT:
Got my 3rd monitor, here is a pic:

While I use multiple monitors at work, I only use a single monitor at home. And I'm on my laptop 95% of the time these days at home and it clearly only has one monitor. I don't get enough productivity back "at home", to justify the electrical costs of running 2 monitors.
