I use eventsentry, http://www.eventsentry.com/. Very cheap filtering solution. I have it set up to email certain events to me and one "daily summary" email from each server covering all events on that server. It has several notication options, such as smtp, syslog, odbc, xhtml, ascii printer, net send, process (as in starting/stoping a process based on the event), sound, etc. In your situation it'll cost about $999 for 41-50 servers (about 20 bux a server). It's small, non-intrusive, doesn't require a restart to install, has a remote update feature... They also have a quick and helpful support staff.
I don't mean to sound like a salesman here, but this is a great (and cheap) product.

I need it to basically look at the Event Viewer on 30 - 50 servers and mail me important or filtered events. I realise that one can spend thousands on this sort of software with all the bells and whistles, but I need to keep it simple and cheap. It's really to avoid the task of checking all individual servers manually everyday!
