Im probably going to get a 32" flatscreen for Xmas.

I have a spare 15" flat screen that I would quite like to go on top/to the side of the 32" on the wall.

Is there any software that would allow me to show any or a combination of the below:

-Screensaver/animation
-Current track info while visulisations on main screen
-DVB TV guide
-Calender with reminders (Like Outlook 2007)

Ill run the second display off a video card with two outputs...

Ideas on a postcard?

Can all be done fairly easily - TV guide will require software though (google is your friend) and the rest is either built into your music program (winamp/media player etc) or built into the OS (XP/Vista etc)

Thinking of investing in MCE 2005 + Remote for the above though...
