Depends if you want them in PPP or PLP but if they are going to be all LLL then I don't know of any arm that can support anything over 27".

Take a look at this thread and your monitors might work but this is the biggest I have come across while looking for a triple mount of 24" LCDs.

Hi! I'm new to this forum, but I like it a lot! I found it while browsing for ideas about new computer desk, and after looking all 879 pages :eek: WOW - a lot of ideas, a lot of inches... Well my setup isn't so glamorous as yours, but it suits me well. The only problem i have is my desk - there is small space for my legs and it makes me uncomfortable, so I'm about to change it, but still looking for ideas.
At the moment I have two places - one is this desk with the following PC:
CPU: DualCore AMD Athlon 64 X2, 2000 MHz (10 x 200) 3800+
Motherboard: Jetway M2A692 Series (2 PCI, 1 PCI-E x16, 4 DDR2 DIMM, Audio, Video, Gigabit LAN)
motherboard chipset: AMD 690G, AMD Hammer
RAM: 3072 MB (DDR2-800 DDR2 SDRAM)
Video: ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT (256 MB)
HDD: 200 GB + 250 GB + 500 GB + 500 GB EXT.
and another PC which is placed on my old table with very comfy armchair. the PC is old Athlon 1700 512 RAM, 512 GeForce 6200 and 160 GB HDD.

Hope you'll like my setup! By the way I'm from Bulgaria!
Have a nice time!
 
Well the big monitor is IBM 21" P260 with sony trinitron tube. it has VGA and DVI, but the DVI requires special cable which I wasn't able to find.
 
Well, here's mine. Just replaced my 24" Dell 2405fpw with a U3011.


Current setup... by mattlach, on Flickr

Only one thus far, but I'm hoping to get some 20" 1600x1200 panels in portrait mode for the sides in the future. Hopefully by then Nvidia surround will support this setup :p
 
The desk is kind of ugly but here is mine:
22" and 19" on the desktop, another 19" for the lappy

I want to eventually get some arms for the right two

and that dell is gone, just had it there while I was working on it :D

I like it! I like the DELL too - old standard 4:3 is nice, i still prefer it than the 16:9. I think if you out some work on the desk and new paint maybe - it will be nicer too. :)

I want to build a custom desk as that one is falling apart and I can't find any prebuilt ones like I want. I just haven't had the time with college and my job!

that desk is pretty bit up?! i kind have the same problem with my desks, after a couple year have to replace with new one. i was thinking about getting a glass desk, but my ikea wood table is hard to replace.

still waiting for my mini displayport --> dvi adapter to come in so I can get the 24" sammy running on my macbook air.
 
messing around until I receive my 3rd 2007fp next week.

currently 3007 wfp-hc + 2x2007fp + 2001fp + 2007wfp

nice pickup and sweet keyboard

Thank you. :)


The IBM Model M by mattlach, on Flickr

That keyboard is my baby. The black Model M's are unfortunately rare enough that parts are starting to be scarce.

I just rebuilt is, replacing all the keycaps as they were worn, and got the last set of printed keycaps unicomp had :(

No idea what I'll do next time...
 
They really don't make good keyboards like they use to. Honestly, even my Logitech gaming keyboard seems like a joke compared to my classic AT style keyboard (the AT plug was modded for PS/2). I have to admit I've gotten hooked on all the fancy media keys and LCD displays (or being able to press more then 3 keys) that I don't know how I could ever go back. SIGH...

I had never even noticed that there was limit to the number of keys that can be pressed simultaneously.

Testing I just found that you are correct, though the number appears to be four, not three, at least on my 1994 era grey IBM Model M I use at work.

That being said, I can't think of a single application that would require more than 4 keys at the same time, even in gaming...

My perfect keyboard would be my Black Model M, but with a native USB interface, and double shot molded keys, instead of pad printed ones... I'll take or leave the trackpoint. It doesn't make a difference to me.
 
The only time that it is important is in gaming, like when I was flying a chopper, the keys actually lock up until you release them and most of the time you don't realize, thus don't release a key and you end up crashing. I don't have this problem with native USB keyboards. During BF2 I switched from PS/2 boards to USB ones and it made a difference for me.
 
My Model M 1994 does 8 keys with PS/2... most of my USB ones seemed to get locked up on lesser keys... but still around ~6 ...

I can only remember a few keyboards that locked up on 2-3 which made them unusable for games.
 
Recently, I came across an IBM Model M PS/2 keyboard (white). I love it.

I hadn't touched one since undergraduate school, and I had forgotten how good they feel.

Media keys and displays? Meh, who needs 'em? :)
 
looking nice all, have to admit the tri-panel comps beat out just about e very other setup just for having tri-vision. I like the clean setups and some were quite sleek. You never see on the presidents desk, i wonder if he has a keyboard hidden low out of view. We maybe never know. hehe, anyway alsolooking for a new monitor now, thinking of going with 3 22-14inch monitors vs going with one 27-28 inch.. deal for 139 on AOC 24" (23.6 to be technical) but anyway overall the AOC 24" being sold at staples... and for staples you can always order a $25 off $100 coupon for a couple bucks.. So 250-300 .. Or go for the trii 24" monitors which will likely end close to $400 total. Tri-setup maybe kick butt, but don't know yet.. Still running XP, so maybe ill go with that 25.5 Asus monitor for now, and then buy a couple more cheap..

should be fun, hard choices out there and seemingly limited choice above the 24" option.

I hear you, man. Triple monitor surround gaming looks really cool in certain games, but not in all of them, or in simple web browsing, so it's a tough choice.

Everything I've seen of eyefinity/surround FPS games is just freaking awesome, with the peripheral vision and stuff. However, I'm not sure how an RTS would work on it, if it just stretched out the same viewable area onto three panels that would make it harder to tell what's going on without moving your head, but if it gave you three times the viewable area that would be pretty cool. That 30" landscape flanked by 20" portraits seems like the best of both worlds - a nice surround setup that's also a potent single-monitor setup for tasks that don't work particularly well with triple monitors. A lot of the triple setups seem to sacrifice the quality of the center panel in order to have three panels.

There's some good bigger panels, but nothing TN seems to go above 1920x1200, and most of it has moved onto 1920x1080. I'd consider a 27"-30" monitor if it gave me 2560x1440 or 2560x1600, but those are all IPS panels and thus $$$$. And I can't see myself upgrading to a 27"-30" TN monitor that has 120 lines less resolution than my current display.

I've had my Asus VW266H (which I was pleased to learn is considered one of the better TN monitors [H]ere) for over a year and a half, and been very happy with it overall. I don't see a reason to go bigger because the resolution would be the same, and a higher resolution monitor would be way out of my price range. I've tossed around the idea of doing a center 25.5" 1920x1200 in landscape and a pair of 19" 1280x1024 panels in portrait. Figure I could get an effective 3968x1200 display for games that work well with it, and at minimal cost. Does Eyefinity allow mis-matched panels like that?
