Administrators Rich 26 Posted July 4, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 4, 2012 Those are 3 x Dell 24" ultra bright screens, all on the same graphics card, all settings to maximum Very happy with it, after messing about for a week building a new custom pc to run it all Link to post Share on other sites

Problem is, most existing PC's cant fit the graphics card in that I bought, so I had to start from scratch and build my own PC. Not sure I would really want people on my back about their PC though.. People are lazy, and bug you for absolutely everything because they cant be bothered to read the manual.. The problem in just using a bigger single screen is everything the n gets bigger, so you gain nothing other than everything on-screen is bigger, which is great, as you can sit further back, but you still dont get that peripheral vision that any single screen setup restricts you to. 3 x projectors and hell yeah, that would be mental Edited July 5, 2012 by Guest Link to post Share on other sites
Club Members Trevor 25 Posted July 5, 2012 Club Members Share Posted July 5, 2012 Richard, Out of interest, what is the spec of the PC you built (i.e. graphics card, cpu, case, power supply, mobo etc.)? Link to post Share on other sites
Administrators Rich 26 Posted July 5, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2012 Richard, Out of interest, what is the spec of the PC you built (i.e. graphics card, cpu, case, power supply, mobo etc.)? lol, I didnt want to brag, but as you asked... Corsair 600T case Corsair AX850w modular PSU Corsair H100 twin fan Radiator cooler for CPU Intel i7 CPU quad core HT @ 3.6gHz (New socket 2011 type) Asus P9X79 pro systemboard 16GB Corsair DDR3 1866 Memory ATI Radeon 6990 4GB Dual GPU graphics card (Supports 6 screens if needed) 2 x 450GB SSD hard drives in RAID0 (Always cold to the touch and silent) The systemboard is totally awesome, and its onboard monitoring software is excellent.. So far, when running normal day to day stuff, web, emails, photo/video editing, it runs at about 24deg CPU and 30deg mobo temp, and when being pushed hard, the CPU temp climbs only as far as 37deg and the systemboard temp stay around 32deg the whole time, but you can program all the system fans to whatever speeds you like, for different temperatures.. It was the graphics card that started all this... Got it on eBay, used, for half price!!!! Wouldnt fit in my little Dell 8100, so decided what the heck... Time for a new PC I did have to fit 4 Antec quiet fans to the side door to get the motherboard temp down from 40deg to 30deg, but those fans are silent, they only run at 600rpm.. Oh, and dont forget the 2 blue CCFL lighting I put in it too lol... Link to post Share on other sites
