Is the actual website you use or could you link me with where you got it from? I got the 4 pack of LEDs from Ikea for my monitors but 5M for only $60? Now I feel a little screwed over. :mad:

You addressed your question to hydrafear, but I thought I'd chime in. I ordered 3 sets or "pure white" LED rope lighting from Orange Tree Trade (orangetreetrade.com) in Nov. 2009 for my computer LCD's and plasma TV and they've been working fantastically ever since (used daily for all 3 screens for ~4-5 hrs.). They were very reasonably priced. I used the sticky-backed 1" square zip tie attachments around the back edge of the monitors/TV and used zip ties to hold the rope lighting in place. I then put the LED rope lighting on outlet timers (you can find them at places like Target or even Ikea I think sells them now for between $5-$20 depending on what kind you want - mechanical/digital, single/double outlet, etc.) so they'll turn on/off automatically each day (you could also get those cord extenders used to turn lamps on/off if you wanted to do it manually).

Unfortunately the flash kind of messed up the picture.

Thought I'd take a picture before downsizing my setup to a dual monitor mini-itx hackintosh setup. Got caught up in Eyefinity and now I need to start selling my PC, that HP Dreamcolor and 2 2405FPWs currently not in use.

Eyefinity not worth it?

You've gotta try it, everyone is different. Some people like one large screen, others like 3 smaller ones. If you like racing sims, I can see eyefinity being amazing, FPS, not amazing, but, pretty damn awesome, rpg, mmorpg, pointless.

It was totally worth it. Didn't care much for landscape but portrait mode was awesome. Made me played through Dragon Age just for Eyefinity even though I don't usually care for western RPGs. It's just that I ended up with 5 24" 1920x1200 monitors in my quest for monitors. I find that I'm not into gaming that much anymore and need to start doing some work, so I'm getting rid of the time consuming temptations.
 
Went from a HP w2207 to HP 2710m, absolutely love it :)

My setup, Just got a replacement TV today from Sharp.
The original one purchased last year had a vertical line of blue pixels appear near the middle of the screen.
They upgraded my 120hz, 1080p, 46" LCD to a 120hz, 1080p, 46", LED LCD, Quattron. I do notice a difference the colors especially the yellow spectrum are far more vibrant.
And the monitor is a u2711.

How is that monitor for games?

Excellent, couldn't be happier. Just finished Borderlands on it the other night. No input lag, no motion blur. Being a glossy screen, colors really pop and contrast looks amazing.

All 3 LCD's I own are glossy...I just can't buy a matte now, I'm too spoiled on glossy. :) Our other desktop at home is connected to a Samsung 2232GW. I ended up taking the old w2207 to work to replace the old "way past it's time" Viewsonic VX710 17" 4:3 LCD on my desk. :D

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

I got over excited about having it featured on a website, lol. I'll try and tone it down until there's more of an update. :p

what are those blue cool master stuff? Is it hot plug hard drive?

Those are just Cooler Master's tool-less drive mounts. No hot swapping unfortunately.

Nice clean setup andrelmaraujo. That's difficult to accomplish with a glass desk.

Thanks.. that´s true, a glass desk give me a lot of job to route the cables... but the visual is better, in my opinion... Of course there´s some wood tables really, really nice.. but here, in Brasil, they are toooooooooooo much expensive. :D

This is my setup. 5x Dell s2309w's in portrait.

I'm thinking of getting one more monitor and wall mounting it on top, so I can watch movie without the annoying bezels. But the bezels melt away when gaming. So I'm happy. This picture is a bit old, I've overlapped the bezels since I first set this up.

I did a whole thread about it here. There's some videos of games up there as well.

Architect from matrix? Is that you?

I was going to repair my dell 2407 and add it. Well... I never checked, but the lg w2361v was not vesa compatible :rolleyes:

So I waited a bit, and replaced the w2361v (23", 1920x1080) with a dell sp2309w (23", 2048x1152, built in 2.0 mp webcam and mic), and the 15" 'crt' lcd touchscreen at 1024x768 with a 17" lcd touchscreen at 1280x1024.

I moved the w2361v to the banking pc and will add the touchscreen to it as well. So now this monitor setup will have 7 monitors...

Just need to buy another 5750...

And no, I don't need two webcams :p. The logitech webcam sitting at the top left will be moved to my room shortly.
 
this thread is making me consider fixing one of my LCDs that died and going back to my TH2Go rather than getting a single 27"
 
** Photobucket bandwidth exceeded so all imagens goes to ImageShack **

Well .. after 07 months with the PC stopped because of the renovation (actually just to build 03 more rooms in the upper house) now the pc got a room just for him, and no longer bothers the wife in the early morning game nor the newly arrived daughter who is a joy!

The PC before:

New toys:
2233RZ:




L226WT to par with what I had:




New fans and a GT210 for secondary monitors:



Mousepad new because the old one was too small:




Intel SSDs 40GB to RAID0 for a system and games:








HDMI cable for the T240M:




APC1500 new to do pair with the old couple who won a new battery:



New Webcam:



Modification "ghetto" at the top of Stacker to place a fan above, as the Enermax Dxx not allowed to use the one that cames with the case:



Inside the case with everything ready:






Back with three VGAs:



Tests of performance / stability:






Room with everything ready, but there are still speakers best (albeit with the baby at home does not even roll loud sound), pictures and some furniture for decoration (slightly more comfortable than the old corner: D):
