well if you figure
21" monitor = 1600x1200
and 2 17" monitors = 2048x768
technically the 21" has a higher resolution, but the 2 are much larger
i'm tellin u what we need is a nice flat screen crt with a res of 2048x1152 (1920x1080 + some extra space)

Though I am a fan of dual monitors, I'd probably go with a single 19", given your choices.
If that ends up not being enough, you can add another monitor to that later, if/when finances & deskspace permit.
If you still have/plan to keep that 15", you could run it as a second monitor, beside your new 19"...

hmm..... it would cost me about $500 to get a decent 21" monitor...... I could get two 19" for about the same price......

I would strongly reccomend in favor of two 19" monitors over a 21".
I'm just about to send my 21" CRT back to sony for a warranty repair,(less than 2 years old) and I had a previous 20" die in less than 3 years as well. If I could go back and do it over, I wish I'd bought a good 19" instead. I may sell the 21 after I get it back, before it dies again, and get a good 19".
Weight & heat production are also very real issues with the biggest of the big CRT's. I had to get a stronger desk, because the older one was bending.
In short, after using a couple big CRT's and now a couple big LCD's, I don't plan to buy a CRT over 19" again
Bang-for-the buck, I'd take a NEC/Mitsubishi Diamondtron flat tube over anything else out there right now, particularly their 19" "Superbright" monitors that just came out this summer.
Remember that it's not such a bad idea to get one, and then save up/beg/ use holiday/birthday to buy a second one later...
Good luck,whatever you choose.

Here's a different way to get a second monitor. The guy did some serious reworking of a Shuttle SS40. It's a long thread, but the pictures are on the first page.
