I really through about doing dual 27"s. Maybe quads, but Id of had to redo my desk quite a bit for that. :winkwink:

shit that is one of the hottest things Ive seen!
so sweet man! :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

i have 1 32" one i am thinking of buying a second one :) so much confortable for programming LOL

i have an 8 port iogear kvm in another room hooked up to 8 dualcore 3.4s and using the iogear kvm consol extender - up to 500ft away connected on cat5e, works flawless - only complaint is no dvi yet but for the purpose of what i do (rendering vids on the 8 machines) its perfect.

Yes thats basically exactly what im doing my only problem is I want to use DVI at least for my main machine. The other problem is I prefer usb mouse and keyboard. So what Ill probably do is use a seperate keyboard and mouse for the other machines. Ill take a look at iogear and see. I like the cat5e option. Will make for much cheaper cable costs. Monitors are going to be about 12 to 15 feet away from 4 of the boxes.

Oh and Id like to have dual monitor for each box since I have dual dvi out from each computer. Its a tough configuration im dealing with on it.

Dvi Dual link
usb
6 port.

this would work, but need dual monitor support.

dude, you even got the sound system going! Now I'm jelouse :disgust

Dual monitors rock to record with Nuendo 3.0 :winkwink:

Anyone else thinking thats child abuse?

"Please Dad, I wont break it I promise"

my thoughts also :1orglaugh

wow synergy looks awesome :O very useful.. especially clipboard sharing :O

It is. I was a bit buggy for awhile when I used just wireless for the laptop, but pretty rock solid since I ran some cat5 to it. :thumbsup takes a bit to get setup properly, but once you get it, it is tits.

crazy cool setup :)

I have water cooling in my system. It's an AMD64 3800+ X2 (dual core) with a stock speed of 2.0ghz per core, and I've got it jacked up to 2.6ghz per core, and it runs at a chilly 34C under full load and about 46C under 100% load. I love it.

First Setup: 21w, 21w

Second Setup: 17, 19w, 19w and a 42

Third Setup: 19w, 24w and a 42w (best so far)

I use a 20" and a 24" and I still run out of real estate. I will be buying another 24" soon.

Does it make things faster? Hell yes! I can have a style sheet, the page loading it and the browser of the page loading it all open at once with photoshop in the background to tweak the background of the page to suit the spacing in the style sheet while having my color copier (eyedropper) around with ICQ open to two different partners and another screen open to access the shell on the server the site is on...

Takes about 1/5th the time to get shit done as it did when I used to play pong with the task bar. Anyone who has ever been to my pad and seen it and watched me use it and then got a second monitor (even if it was 2 17"'s) said they increased their productivety 2 fold minimum and can't believe they used to use only one.

What cooling system did you go with?

What's the vid car needed to handle this?

I will quote myself...

Add to this 2 or 3 metapads (notepad clone) open to keep track of notes or store something I will come back to or whatever. And excel open to pull apart some FHG info I plan to import somewhere...

To you sir I will say this:

You know when you haven't used Photoshop for 5 minutes and now you have to go back to it so you click on it in the task bar and windows reads it from the paging file and displays it 5 seconds later? I already saved and uploaded that file and moved on to the next task.

You know when you need to go back through untitled notepad sections (that have been grouped) in the task bar looking for the one that has the PHP code you were going to use? I already had the window open on the other monitor,cut and paste it and uploaded that too.. I am on to the next task.

You know that info in the big spread sheet you need to grab and cut and paste but keep having to go back to the task bar to put dream weavers window in the forground and then go back to excel and back and forth? Well that time you are spending waiting for the window to open and the time it takes to click the task bar and go back to the area the text is in is all adding up... After 30 minutes of this I kissed your ass goodbye about 20 minutes ago because I was just moving window to window...

Dont do it. Please dont.
Look at the max res those tv's can do, and hten look at the res your running on your smaller screen....
Computers using even the best TV's still look like complete shit compaired to a no name twice fallen off a truck computer monitor.

Ive actually tested those ones out. Its still 1280x something. The quality on them is way way up there. 8ms response time etc. They are more like a monitor with a tv tuner added in. Read the reviews on them also.

Why bother with the larger monitor then? the only reason would be if your blind.
I set my 20.1 to 1280x1024 instead of the native 1680x1050 jsut to see. and well damn I just lost half my realestate.
I cant imagine how big the cursor would be on a 27" screen at that res.

edit: I ment 1280x768 not 1024.

Thats what it looks like right now, with my new desk because the old one started to break in the middle.

still on 3 19s

and my second box on 2 19s

nice setups

You can adjust everything from font size to icon size etc. I run 1680x1050 and see just fine on this. Ive run 1600x1200 for at least 2 or 3 years before these new monitors, so old hat for me.

some sweet setups

My 24" Dell does 1920x1200... Why grab a larger LCD TV Monitor just to have less real estate? Makes no sense... If I added 6 more inches I want the resolution too!

my point was your are handy capped to a 1280x786 by using a TV as a monitor.
I have ran 1600x1200 on 2 19"CRT monitors since the matrox millenium g400 came out. now running dual 20.1 widescreen LCD (FYI at the time the CRTs were much more then I paid for these lcds).

So you will actually lose space, things will jsut be bigger because each pixel is larger to cover to larger surface area.

Ok its cause im a pretty hardcore gamer when I have time ;)
