Pics?I keep a few 19" 1440x900's between my 27" monitors just for extra sidebar space.

You had six monitors, didn't like unusable screen real estate, so you switched to a seven monitor setup?
In my opinion, three monitors are great. Not only for gaming but also for work. I run google talk, teamspeak, and system monitor programs on my side monitors while I game on my 30.

i am sorry but having 7 monitors is unnecessary for 99.99999% of the people are you are not the .00001%. I mean, have it if you want it but deosnt make it less useless and pointless. Monitoring tools and IM should take half a screen at most.

I am not saying its not cool or ppl should not have it, I said its unnecessary and pointless.
I am not opposed to it and do not think people should not have it. This is a enthusiast site and enjoy coming here to see ridiculous setups.

This is what I've been waiting for. I call BS if no pics are posted.With enough porn, any number of monitors can become necessary.
As for this awesome sounding 7 monitor set up, pics or shens.![]()

I was originally planning on putting 4x22" 1920x1080 monitors on the upper row to match the lower row horizontal resolution (7680 pixels). That would require me to replace one of my monitor mounts (I use 3). 3 Dell U2913wm's would be a perfect upper row to complement my 30" monitors and it would not require me to replace the stand, but 3 of them is $1500+ while 4 22" 1920x1080 monitors would be around $600, so even if I buy a really good stand like the Ergotron LX dual stacking arm ($250) it would still be a lot cheaper. Right now it is 4x20" 1680x1050 because (a) they are the right PPI and (b) I had them left over when I originally upgraded my 6-monitor asymetrical layout.(LLL/PLP). I haven't upgraded simply because I got laid off in November so I'd rather eat and pay my mortgage right now. Soon as I get another job I'll make up my mind on which way I'll go.

That's a pretty awesome setup. What video cards are you running that off of?
Does it hurt your neck to look up at those top monitors? I used to have my secondary row above but it was too hard on my neck.
Just got rid of the old Jerker desk, love the added workspace of going with a proper L desk.

Please find a job soon so you can get 3 of those Dell 29".![]()

I have a HD6990 and an ASUS EAH 6950 DCUII in tri-fire. I used to have an XFX HD6950 as well for quad-fire, but due to layout limitations of my motherboard, Crossfire cables, and case it forced the HD6990 into the x4 slot which really affected microstutter.
I don't use the top monitors for constant viewing, just for secondary stuff that I would like to take a quick peek at without having to open an application or change application focus. Looking at the top row on a regular basis does make my neck hurt. I tried putting a pair of wing monitors (2x20" 1600x1200 left over from my PLP) but that actually made my neck hurt worse as I was twisting it past 45 degrees just to see the monitors and they are outside my peripheral vision while the upper row is (barely) not.
You should try Mulitiplicity from Stardock. Awesome virtual KVM software. You can drag and drop files from computer to computer by dragging it across the displays. All with one keyboard and mouse.
It is a network based KVM.

Thanks for the heads up on this. It has run across my radar before, but it still just seems like a Synergy+ with a couple added features (encryption, file transfer).
Unfortunately, both it and Synergy+ lack the feature I really care about, which would be seamlessly moving windows from one system to another, so in the case where either of these tools are used to control a system with a set of monitors, the entire expanse of screen real estate could be used by either machine.
On that note, I would highly recommend the Synergy+ to anyone looking for that feature set who wants a FOSS solution and is capable enough to implement encryption via stunnel if needed!

My office. Prior to my 30 inch monitor.
Decided to take a picture before the tear down. All the monitors were connected and working.
