    Deck Legend

    I figured it out. You hold down the FN key and press 0 and it turns the backlighting off. Then hold FN, 1 thru 7 to set brightness level.

    Deck Legend

    So I ended up getting the Deck Legend - Frost. I must say I really love this keyboard. Only question I have is I powered my new PC down and my keybaord remained illuminated. Is this correct? Shouldn't it have turned off?

    Can anyone find a HD 5970?

    Yeah, I saw that. But it was coming from Hong Kong. So I was only wondering if it was still the same card as the one I would purchase in the US

    For triple monitor, is it better yo buy 3 single monitor stands, or 1 for 3?

    I too am making the jump to 3 monitors. I currently have 1 25.5" monitor and was going to do 3 24" monitors with the single stand to hold all three monitors. But since then I've changed and I'm going 3 27" monitors and still will get a single stand. But can't get an ergotron or ergotech stand...

    Eyefinity and multiple monitors

    Do not have room for projectors. You would need to sit a distance away from them. But would love to see someone have setup like that. And have surround sound. Would make for one hell of a gaming experience.

    Eyefinity and multiple monitors

    Thanks for all the advice. I will revise my wish list on Newegg. What about the monitor choice? Changing the CPU drops the price down about $250 dollars so the ASUS system is $2,700, and the NEC system is $3,600
