I am sorry you are unhappy with the questions, David.
As I am sure you know, I half-decent system with stereo graphics doesn't
come cheap, and if you price things together to make something that performs
well I doubt you'll get much change out of $2000.
I am aware of other 3D systems (such as those listed on www.stereo3d.com).
However, the price of peripherals like a 3D LCD monitor are prohibitively
expensive (and the quality of the images is supposed to be poor). Do you
know of a relatively inexpensive way of displaying 3D images on PCs?
Any other comments would be greatly appreciated.

I don't care for the way several questions are posed. Examples:
"4. What would you consider is a reasonable price to pay for a
computer graphics workstation designed with crystallography in mind?
A) USD $2000-3000
B) USD $3000-5000
C) USD $5000+
"
What, no option for "I'd be willing to assemble one from parts for under
USD $2000"?
...
"If there were a choice, would you prefer stereo graphics displayed
using LCD-shuttered glasses or a head mounted display (often referred to
as a Virtual Reality headset)?"
That does not cover all the choices currently available, let alone what
I wish were available.
