man that 12 monitor setup was crazy...

and I would love to get a dual monitor setup. It'd be nice to have schoolwork stuff on one screen and then chatting programs, winamp or a video playing on the other.

I prefer one 19-21" CRT (preferably Sony G series but those have been discontinued)

Uh, I just move my eyes.

I'm tempted, but I'd need to spend $5 on a DVI -> CRT converter, and I just can't really think of any use for it.

i like dual monitors, but like dual systems better. i just have them share the keyboard and mouse with a KVM. that way i can run XP and Linux at the same time.

As a programmer it's a godsend, the graphics artists at my work also love being able to work on multiple images, previewing etc at the same time. Positioned correctly you don't turn your head much at all.

EngenZerO, nice case. I have the same one. :p

:shocked: what video cards do you got in that thing?

LOL..its not mine,but I'd take it. Fastest video cards in the world won't make a system like that fly,they have to be networked together,espeically something as grapically demanding as Flight Simulator.

Wow. The person must be a Flight Sim fanatic. I bet it would be cool to play it on this setup. :Q
