I have a 24" iMac and do extensive video editing as well as manage a website. both of these jobs would greatly benefit from a second monitor. I saw a picture of someone using two 24" Imacs side by side and was intrigued. is there a way to use two as a double monitor? Better question.. Is it possible to link the systems so you have double everything? (wishful thinking)
Got a tip for us?

why not just have a 24" imac and a 24" cinema display? the display sits a inch shorter or so but its much more cost efficient.
It depends on your intention for linking. Two machines can share data linked by an ethernet cable. You can also do networking with a firewire cable.

You can control them as one but if your idea is to make them work together as one machine (share resources/CPU power), not possible.

Only the current 27" iMac has the possibility to be used as a regular external display.
You can also use Screen Recycler.
