    Radeon 5800 and newer as well as GTX-600 and newer all support three screens on a single GPU

    I just used the pins that come with brass picture hooks to mount the bits, making use of existing holes in most cases so as not to actually damage anything. The parts are, from left to right:

    Asus Radeon x800 AGP 256MB display adapter
    Corsair Platinum XMS 512MB DDR 400Mhz * 2
    Kontron motherboard with Pentium 4 3Ghz CPU and two Geil 256MB DDR 400Mhz dimms
    Seagate Barracuda 120GB 7200RPM IDE HDD, it was working until I ripped off the casing.
    IBM 4 port fibre network adapter with 8MB RAM and what looks like two PowerPC CPU's on the back of the card.
    Gigabyte Radeon HD4890 1Gb display adapter

    Yes, most modern cards support multiple displays. Currently I have the 27" screen on the HDMI port, and the two 24" screens using a DVI-D port each. The card will support up to six screens total by using a MST Hub on the Display Port (3 screens) plus one screen on each of the DVi-D and HDMI ports.

    Actually he's a Saint Bernard/Boxer mix so far the Saint Bernard side seems to be dominant. I love the little guy although he likes to try and bite my cords so I put up some cardboard underneath my desk to stop him for the time being haha.

    With a lot of the even newer Radeons supporting up to 6 screens, while the NVidia 600 and newer support up to 4.

    Suppose that is my laziness showing. Thanks. :P I guess I just expect most people to use the linked BBCode option by default, especially if they want to show off a 4k res picture...

    Pretty sure if you threw a ball it would run anything.

    I need to stop buying new things, I really need a monitor arm =/.



    Not the best speakers, but for $60 they're good enough. Polk Audio T15.

    Excuse the mess, it's just temp. until the amp arrives for the speakers and then I can get rid of those garbage x-540s and clean up the cables.

    they are built around the concept of engineered tolerance, ie, if a CPU is designed to max out at 95C, running it at 80C is not outside of tolerance and considered okay


    when you understand this concept, it allows more freedom to build, as long as your parts stay within the tolerance range, you are good, there is no need to get your CPU as cool as possible

    Nevermind that people overrate the importance of 'normal' size cases. You don't need much room to really ventilate your components to begin with.

    This is especially true when most of the mITX cases incorperate some sort of direct fresh air intake for the GPU (like propping it up against a vented side panel) and the option to use low profile 120mm liquid coolers. There shouldn't be much of a temperature difference between a well planned mITX build and a standard ATX build these days.

    Ease of access, ease of building and cable management are a completely different monster, however. :P

    Here's my previous set-up (before I moved into the Phenom I posted earlier):



    Max Temps on my OC'd 2500k stayed in the mid-60s. GPU temps stayed in the mid-70s.

    That case (Cubitek Minicube) was about the size of a shoe box.

    It's so nice having decent speakers finally. I can actually hear the notes of the music now distinct or that could just be me having crap speakers to begin with and anything is an upgrade lol.

    Here's the little amp powering them.

    Are you planning to get some decent headphones to really put that amp to the test?

    that amp has no headphone jack, its purely for bookshelf speakers, only has speaker terminals for outputs.
