Oh, good point about moving HUD out of your field of view.  Although I imagine that split up the middle is rather disconcerting.

i think one big monitor is much better. there are even curved ones... if you have just one monitor, nothing gets split, also you can invest the money of 3 monitors in one...

Also Monitors are currently evolving quickly, so you might regret sending alot on a monitor if there's better stuff out there soon. somtimes there's rediculous deals on decent monitors...

I wonder what would happen if I bought 6 of those and stretched a game all the way around me in a circle!?!? O_O

And why does the internet always make reference to the "PC Master Race". Kind of gauche but whatever.

Blue or red pill, Sir?

Is purple an option?  In case Neo develops a reflux condition, you know?

Gith

And it is complete!

The bracket came today to get them all up on arms. And got some longer cables.

I love the three-panel desktop wallpaper!

How the hell do you keep your desk so clean?!? You need way more coffee mugs, miscellaneous flash drives, and sticky notes.

Gith

I had JUSt put together the display. So it was at its maximum cleanage lol.

I have more empty glasses and stuff on it now. Though, I do try to keep the desk clean of debris.

New computer build!

The last one lasted for 4 years. It is still doing ok but upcoming games like Anthem in February are saying my specs don't meet some of the minimums and definitely not the recommended. My GTX 760 lasted 4 years though which is pretty good!

I found it very handy to have this old post available for me to find so I am posting my build up here again so I can find it later.

Now I just need to be patient and wait for Black Friday/Cyber Monday to see if I can get any deals on these parts. The GPU and SSD were on sale for $180 and $200 off so that is some good savings so far!

I found many of the parts on sale from my local Canada Computers and Amazon so many of the parts will be arriving today!

But of course, the case will be arriving last lol.

What are you running with twin linked graphics cards? I currently have 3 monitors running off a single GTX 760.
