What the hell do you do to need four monitors for at work? Certainly not for stock trading.

With good airflow it really shouldn't be a problem.

laptop is for take home... i was re-building it.
the 3 screens, everyone gets dual screens as default for a new hire.... just generally they get 1 - 24 and 1 19.... but i co-manage the entire IT infrastructure team, so I get to put in my own POs and finance likes me a lot, so they all get approved....
i was trying to get one 27" and 2 24" but that price tag didnt sit right with the CTO.....

You have to upload your pics to an image sharing site and then link in the URL for the image. I use Skydrive/Windows Live. Imageshack is another site that allows for hot linking.

While I do have 5 120mm fans in the case, the cards still get hot. Not "egg frying" hot, but hot enough I don't like it. If I stick with it I will probably look into water cooling. I'm running out of things to do on this rig anyway.

Indeed. After spending 10 years recovering from the financial devastation of divorce and custody battle, it is a lot easier to appreciate the gift AND the giver.

I'm sure he's just replacing the middle monitor. Though having 4 monitors is nice. I used to have a setup with 3 on the bottom and one on the top. The top monitor I put my network monitors, or music player, or aim, or what ever. The bottom 3 were for games, or normal work with multiple browser windows, or documents, or thing that needed to be worked on, not merely monitored.
Wow, what is that theme you're using?
It reminds me a lot of this really old "Longhorn" theme for Windows XP from like 8 years ago.

Hey, look at the bright side. You can max out all settings on any game and not ever have to worry about slow frame rates again.
Speaking from experience, the biggest issue I ran into looking at having 3 30" monitors for home was that its more then 6-ft across of pure monitor...that's a lot of desk space (and desktop space for a mouse to move). Even with my new 2 vert-21s and the 30" I'm still 4ft5in across of monitor... you literally have to really turn back and forth alot, not to mention the heat that the huge panels put off.
During the summer I have to have the A/C cranking most of the time between the displays, the CPU and the UPS, not to mention if I use the laser printer, lol.

Well yeah, but I could do that with a single 285. I want to go 30", but it's just too expensive.
You fit two GTX 480s in that DA Box? Nice! I couldn't make my 5870 CF fit in mine.
This is the part where someone posts a satirical take on those motivational posters, with the caption: PRIORITIES.

That's not all: I also fit a full liquid cooling system with twin 240 rads..... the pic is outdated but I don't have a camera. Rest assured I will make a few posts once I get this running, I have almost everything ready.
I wonder where all my money went.Too expensive?? You have two GTX 480s
Yeah, I don't know if you noticed the FOLDING METAL CHAIR.

Thx Zodiac, sending that one to the funny pix thread
Some nice systems in here, props to you all.I've little to refresh but Brianmuse recently featured my setup in his blog for desktopped.com, so I thought I'd throw up what's been updated anyway.
.
nice setup, but why you keep reposting it every few months? I've seen your setup a few times here for the past few years

How could he have had an Eyefinity setup the last years? At any rate, he's loves his rig and let's face it, part of why I come here is to brag and see others brag. When taken in that spirit its all good!

That's the price that god charges you to have a killer rig and an energy based cat lifeform. Well worth it.

From the looks of it, he's powered by the source code of the universe and a 100,000 burning suns.

Really nice setup, dude!
I'd rather have the panels dead center on the desk but, to each his/her own.
