Beg to differ, good sir.
See my sig for a computer that can handle 4, and it only cost $400, not including Win 7 which I bought but isn't necessary.

Those are good suggestions for a rig no doubt, although I see prices closer higher than that now (~$600$-700) after you add up *everything*. Regardless, at $150-$175 per card that's not bad. But, if you don't want to spend that much to set up each card, there are other options too. They do of course use a bit more electricity.
It all boils down to how you'd like to maximize your investment: with respect to time (get profits asap), longevity (build a rig that will use the lest kw/h), or some mixture of both.
EG., the consideration plays itself out every day with people buying 5830s and 6990s.
All I'm offering is the ability to:
1. Run numbers and show you how much you'd make every month using different estimates for difficulty and BTC price.
2. Help implement and design a plan to maximize your profits over XX amount of time.
The BTC forums offer pretty much the same if you're willing and able to put in the work, have some experience (willingness/ability to learn) administering server farms.
