    Adding 4 additional monitors to a 3 monitor set up, easiest route?

    Thanks for the info! Some good stuff for me to think about. :) I plan on just using the four 19" as accessory displays, using each individually to monitor work related software. I've been using side by side for awhile. This distortion you speak of, it's only when spanning across the two...

    Adding 4 additional monitors to a 3 monitor set up, easiest route?

    ASUS DCUII, nice looking card! I have not had any luck with getting my onboard video outs to work with my 680. I should have said my motherboard in the original post, I'm running a 3770k on an Extreme6. My layout is going to be exactly like yours. :) (Which is awesome BTW) My 2560x1440 screens...

    Adding 4 additional monitors to a 3 monitor set up, easiest route?

    I have three 2560x1440 monitors and I want to add four 1280x1024 monitors which have both DVI and VGA in. What is the easiest/cheapest way? I currently run the three monitors with a 680 GTX, two from the DVI outputs, and one from the DP output. I'm hoping there is some cheap 4 DVI/VGA output...

    Question: Using higher rated fans in Cosmos II fan controller?

    I know the fans I want to use will blow the controller. Does something exist that plugs into the plug from the fan controller, the fan, and a PSU molex, so that I can use more amps, but still retain the ability to control the speed with the fan controller? The idea of using the mobo fan headers...

    Ram for ASUS Rampage IV Formula LGA 2011

    I guess my main question was will 4x4 outperform 2x8 by a noticeable amount? I figure 16gb is where I need to be at, and that is why I put overkill on the 32gb poll option, and did not put an option for any less. I was just trying to make a point that I will actually use 16gb, since a lot of...

    Thanks for all the great info! :D I'm trying not to spend over $1000 on GPU/s. Thanks for the input! May I ask the main reason to go x79 over x77? Thanks!

    Around $1000 budget for GPU/s. What to buy with this set up?

    I need the screens for work. If I can only ever game on 2560x1440 I will still be happy. The 3 screen set up while gaming would just be a happy bonus. :)

    My system build, any input? Thanks!

    It will be a gaming and work pc. I will make use of the 16gb of ram, and the processor. I still don't have any idea on video card/s though. Any suggestions for improvements? Thanks! http://pcpartpicker.com/p/SYHD PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/SYHD Price breakdown...

    Around $1000 budget for GPU/s. What to buy with this set up?
