Thanks, picked one up.

I've had problems like that when running LAN parties. We've solved the issue by getting a long extension cord to run to power outlets on different circuit breakers and splitting the PCs up.

Since your monitors are 1920x1080, you can use the $27 Active DisplayPort adapter. If you had a higher resolution or Hz, you would need the $100 adapter. I have three 1080P monitors and the $27 adapter works just fine. It's a minor consolation for having the inferior resolution of 1920x1080...

1. Either 2. The (Performance / Price) ratio is the most important thing to me. 3. Yes, but I don't upgrade to a new $500 card with every generation release. I upgrade when the games I play start to show some performance drops. 4. I make extensive use of reviews.

Dat cable management!

Doesn't really matter how much of the internet community he has for moral support; if the judge is willing to give Sony everything they want, he's screwed if he stays in America.

Wow that's . . . insane. Can't wait to see more videos :)

Did anyone order this from Amazon and actually get it? I made the mistake of ordering on Amazon instead of Newegg since I get free 2-day shipping with Prime, but didn't realize it was sold by "The Price Pros" and only fulfilled by Amazon so it had an estimated 3+ weeks before it shipped out . ...

Those cards look pretty sweet. I'd love to have one :)

This build is the [H]ardest of the [H]ard. Sub'd. Looking forward to seeing more pictures and info as you get it all setup and play around with it more :)

This is correct. Any 5000/6000 series card can support a maximum of two non-displayport monitors. However, some of the cards only have a single displayport on the card itself, so be aware. For example, the 5770 has only 1 displayport port on the card, so it can power a maximum of 3 monitors...

I've had no driver and compatibility issues at all with my 5770s. A few months ago I had the cursor corruption bug that plagued multi-monitor setups, but it hasn't shown up for a long time with more recent drivers.

Oh, good catch. My monitors are 1920x1080, so I tend to forget about these distinctions.

No, Active DislayPort adapters are less than $30 now.

I use the Sapphire adapter which is on Newegg for $27 shipped, and it works just fine. I'm sure the Asus one works fine as well--by this point it seems that most of the issues with active DP adapters have been sorted out.
