How 'bout considering a 27" model? Here's one for $1699 and it includes a pretty decent computer for free (and has an SD card slot to boot!):

http://www.apple.com/imac/ 27-inch models also support input from external DisplayPort sources (adapters sold separately).

Hmmm..... That looks tempting!
Yeah, for some reason, it doesn't seem that Apple is advertising this new capability that much (or at all!). As long as your secondary computer has a mini-DisplayPort, you can connect it to the 27" iMac's mini-DisplayPort and use it just as a monitor.
The only caveat (albeit small) is that apparently there are no cables of this sort just yet, so it may take suppliers a little while to get some in from manufacturers.
