Three monitors? Jeez man, nice set up though

[mstopford-webdesign]

Wow, all of these are terrible compared to mine! Read and weep people:

Playstation 3 Yes you read that correctly, only the best for me!

lol, that's all I got for gaming. I wish I had the time/ability/money to build one of these bad boys you guys have got!

[Ash Scott]

haha, well on the ps3, the stable FPS for 98% of games, is 250FPS - On my pc i get 450 average... PS3 sucks, just get a gaming pc lol

Three monitors aint enough! At some point I need to invest in some wall brackets and get another 30-40" to place above my current 3 for movies

Oh and a decent 30" IPS monitor too for design, although I aint got that much money..if only.

You need 250fps for stable gaming? Am i missing something here? As that seems a tad far out.

Aye! I use 5 monitors and even still have windows overlapping all over the place!!! It's odd because when I used to use 3, it felt no less crowded but now if I dropped back down to 3 I would feel like the walls are closing in.

You can never have enough!

60FPS for stable gaming is fine.....xbox runs at around 70

I think you'll find that most higher graphical games on the 360 and ps3 run around 30fps
Considering 99/100 monitors are still only 60hz, anything above 60fps is pointless.

Yes, had to update my hardware a bit because I had managed to get Win 3.11 only on 3.5" disks.

Need a bit of help now...getting a new mobo tomorrow...the ASUS Crosshair V Formula

Now, it has an 8 pin AND a 4 pin power connector for the CPU. on my PSU I have one 4 pin and a 24 pin. do I HAVE to use the addition 8pin power connector?



the 8 pin has a cover over half of it, only showing 4 pins. They are to the right of the CPU in the image above.

Thanks in advance
