I have a 30 and a 24 and its great, I cant imagine 3 30s. I mean the big problem is having to upgrade 3 graphics cards and not just one (if you want to game on all 3 that is)

I was thinking the same thing. That dust would make my mind melt. I literally couldn't sleep until it was cleaned.

You should also connect your PC to a proper monitor, how do you even play on the ground like that?

A little messy here and there, but I can live with it.

I have to say this: You have godly taste in aesthetics. The wrist rest isn't my kind of thing but seriously your entire setup is god-tier.

Also: Nice speakers & cans.

First the specs [Wish Intel would release an 8 core processor which could be overclocked]:
Intel 980x 4.2GHZ (Water Cooled)
AMD MSI 6970HD
512G Vector
150GB WD Raptor (boot recovery)
5.4Gb Raid6
3Ware 9690SA RAID controller
4 24" monitors
- 2 Dell U2413
- 1 Dell 204FWP
- 1 HP LP2475w
2 LG 12x Blu-ray Burners WH14NS40
1 DVD Burner Lite-On iHAS124B
Space Pilot
Saitek Commander


Now that sounds reasonable basic, but what make it unique is it is actually made up of 2 parts, the Primary case in the basement And a HTPC case located in the Study
Case Internal
Case External
Connections lines to Study
In coming lines in Study
Now the real issue here is lengths of cables, (SATA and USB are limited to 6 feet, so they have to be close together, but it works as the HTPC case has two 4 port USB 3.0 hubs and 2 Blu-ray Burners, as well as a card reader. I then run 2 more USB buses (on 2 of the monitors) from these. Connected between the 2 cases is a RCA audio cable which I use as 2 pairs, the first pair (white), transfers the power button from the upper case to main case, to turn on the main PC. The second cable (red) is connected to a relay on the 12v lead and when powered on, creates a connection to turn the PW on the HTPC case in teh study. A little complex, but it means no noise from the PC when in operation and no heat as well.

Lastly I have 4 24" monitors all mounted on the wall (to reduce desk space) and a custom desk designed to appear to float off the wall as well.

I hope this provides readers with yet another way to think about computer design, as its not what you can (light and all) that always matter but what you can not see or hear. You have no idea how nice a completely silent setup is until you have it.

Awesome setup! You should have embedded your pictures instead of just linking to them as the setup is that good IMHO. The "wall mounted" desk in your study was a nice DIY job.
 
When our 2nd son was born I had to move my office to the basement so we could setup that bedroom as a guest room, it's now my wife's office and guest room as she is working from home now. My desk wouldn't fit with the bed in there so I got put in the basement. I'm in a storage area that is right outside of my workshop and as you can see from the skates it's still a bit of a storage room.

I'd present her with a cost benefit analysis of getting rid of the guest room, and you moving up there. Assuming you'd like it there, and you don't use the guest room more than a few times a year.

I like it down here, I can play music and games without worrying about waking the kids up. Plus it's a good setup for her when she works because our kids play in the basement.

I've got a mancave right across the hall in the basement as well. Basically the whole basement is for me and the kids.

Which wall mounts are you using? Do they allow for any height adjustment or no?

I want to buy a few of these from Monoprice but they have been out of stock forever. Were first supposed to be back in 2/9 and then date was moved to 3/1.

Ihave 4 of these: 3 Way Adjustable Tilting Wall Mount Bracket for LCD LED (Max 33Lbs, 10~25inch)

Not the best mounts of all times, but for the price hard to match. They do adjust (by 3.5 inches), which was enough to get everything squared away, so long as you plan ahead.
 
Here's mine. I will re-post again once I manage to move to a new place....hopefully. :)

That's a sweet looking setup :D and I see some nice Grado headphones there as well :cool:
I always like my SR-60 headphones...but those don't really compare...
 
Looks like my turn. Fitting my first post should be in my favorite thread series!

Nice job siigna. How do the 4gb cards hold up at that res?

Mostly I use the triple monitor setup for the sheer screen real estate. Gaming is usually on the center monitor in SLI mode. I'll swap over to surround mode for things like Need for Speed or Skyrim, it's amazing to say the least. Skyrim+mods+surround will definitely drop the framerates but still more than playable.
