On the subject of nVidia graphics cards, linux and stereo, I feel I ought to mention the Asus VG278H.
This is a 120Hz 27" 1920x1080 monitor with a built-in nVidia 3D vision emitter, which comes bundled with a pair of 3D vision glasses. The great thing about the built-in emitter is that it takes stereo synch from the DVI cable even under Linux. This removes the need for a Quadro card with a 3-pin mini-DIN connector or 3-pin adapter. Here in the UK our cheapest supplier was selling it for £380 ex. VAT. There is little information about using it with Linux on the web, but as I understand it you still need a Quadro card. I got it running with little trouble using a Quadro 2000, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and the latest nVidia drivers. It may be possible to use cheaper Quadro cards. The picture and stereo quality is excellent when compared to our existing stereo systems.
