my new monitors should be in within this week ill have to restructure my whole setup too accomidate the monitors since my chassis sits on my desk i had previously taken pictures on my old 3g iphone but pics came out really bad.. its been dropped more than a few times once i get everything hooked up ill grab my wifes camera and take some new pics
i have one question guy at bestbuy told me other day not a employee hes running 3 23 inch monitores not 2560x1440 and he said while playing GW2, in WvW or spvp he had it setup when he was playing his center screen showed his toon then each side left/right showed the side of his toon while running around, meaning he didnt have to look over with his mouse to look that way giveing him a huge advantage in visibility, is that even possible cuz it didnt sound right to me
I'll PM you with a reply since that question has more to do with GW2 and less to do with the gaming setup. That kind of thing should either be asked in it's own thread, the Computer Chat thread or in the GW2 sub-forum.
@OT My NZXT LED 2m thingy-stuff arrived yesterday! After raging about how it would fit in none of my PCI slots (retarded design) I finally realized that my CM Sniper had an 8th vertical slot, so it went there. Pics when I get home.

Set up a push/pull h100 in my 600t case lol, was a damn nightmare all for like 7C less. I broke a screw off too so its only on by 3 which probably isnt helping my temps durrrr.
Meh even 2 screws holding a fan (diagonally) have the same effect as 4. If the screws are STUPIDLY ANNOYING to put in, I only bother with 2.

Well i meant on the actual heat sink touching the cpu, not just a fan
I have nothing to replace it with really. I cant send the h100 back since i mangled it pretty good to make it fit in my case. Ill weigh my options at my work shop and possibly just mock up a replacement with a regular nut/bolt and some washers or something. For now im rocking it with 3 and it seems to be doing fine.

Current Build:

- ATI 4890 Crossfire
- 16GB Ripjaws DDR3 @ 1600 MHz

- 750 GB WD Black
Wow, that's a really narrow motherboard.
Wow, I remember when 4890 CF was pretty much the only thing that could maintain 30+ fps in Crysis @ 1080p at max settings. That's a classic rig :P

Thanks for the kind words, guys.
Yes, the motherboard is very narrow. I'm not sure why, though. I am weighing options on how to change the white on the side panel. I'm looking at a thin, adhesive black foam panel instead of paint. It'd be nice to add a little sound deadening to the case if possible.
I built this rig in May of this year. I have been piecing parts together since May of last year, when I bought that H50 on clearance for $20. I got the 4890's from New Egg brand new for $75/piece on Black Friday.
Some of the parts are old tech, but they are still running great.
I've got water blocks coming for the 4890s. Even with all the reviews I read, I never imagined they would be as hot as they are. However, the known fan noise issue was remedied by me right off the bat, so they're not too terrible loud.
Edit: Here's a shot of the box with the flash on.

I couldn't quite get the pictures I wanted with the complete absence of light, even with some borrowed light from the house. We haven't connected cables yet, but the loop's been bled and stuff. So we're about done.

We were originally going to install a third radiator in the roof, but I realized post-arrival that the 45mm rad I'd picked wouldn't quite fit in place. Durp. Until we can remedy that, I've gone back on my plan and just gone with two 240mm rads in the bottom... Which are completely unsecured, because goddamnit I can hardly budge them in the first place where they are now.
Watercooling specs

Alphacool D5 Pump Station (bay res+pump)
Alphacool XT45 240mm x2

Primochill Primoflex Pro 1/2" ID tubing
The tubes on the motherboard are messier than I wanted them to, but I couldn't find a cleaner route. Damned things kinked with what I originally planned, and the alternatives I could think of would largely end up worse looking again. :<

Can I ask you what the fan at rear is called? and if it's a 140mm?
Cause I've been looking for 140mm white LED fans and it's rather hard to find a place to buy them in Denmark. I had to look on ebay and amazon to find good ones with a rather low postage price. I've found one now though, but I'm just curious
