    Tri-monitor with three video cards?

    Has anyone done that? Something along the lines of running a tri-SLI mobo and three 8800GT's, each driving its own 20" UXGA monitor. Will the video driver allow a horizontal span configuration for a 4800x1200 desktop? How much of a pain is it to get games running at this config? I suppose...

    Logitech G5 left mouse button failing

    Last night, for the first time in maybe a couple months, I fired off CS just to give it a spin.

It is as if they changed all guns...

    27"-32" Display for Gaming

    Is there any 27"-32" display capable of displaying 1080p (native preferred) currently on the market or at least coming soon? I've seen the 37" Westinghouse unit in person and it is just a bit too big for my likes. There're also Apple's and Dell's 30" 2560x1600 LCDs, but they'd of course...

    Got into a car accident

    Yeah, I got rear-ended this morning on my way to school. The damage wasn't too bad. The bumper even returned to near-original shape, and otherwise there's only a minor chip from one of the tail lights. The plate got bent slightly and both license plate lights assemblies got popped of the...

    23" to 30" gaming LCD recommendation?

    I'm looking for big screen on a budget (~$1600) I've not decided on the resolution yet. While I do have a 6800GT and 1920 x 1200 would be incredibly nice, I dont think I can afford a $400 card every 6 months to allow me to play everything at 1920 x 1200. 1280 x 768 seems kinda low tho...
