I use my 2nd to track temp and voltage changes while gaming. Other than that, it is just extra desktop real estate to use. Watching a video on one, while surfing the web on the other, etc.

I use mine for watching movies while browsing the net, TweetDeck, uTorrent, iTunes, virus scans and video converting windows. It's actually pretty useful.

Honestly, unless you have a second monitor already or you do tasks that require alot of desktop space.. its not worth the money.
