Here's what I'm using for my monitors, they are like 1/3 the price and smaller then those you mentioned, but they work great:

That's a nice monitor, but I feel would be to small for my desk. It'd leave a LOT of open room. Plus with the larger ones, it gives the wrap around effect. Still, I would really like to see xiv in 3d at some point. Everyone I talk to that has 3d says that they can only play for a bit because it gives them a headache. Do you experience any problems like this?

I want to pull the monitors in a bit I think.

That's actually my only qualm, the start menu is WAY off to the far right, I have to turn my head all the way over to see it properly. It'd be nice if it were re-positionable.

That's the issue, since it make it looks like one giant monitor. MS would have to make it moveable or someone would need like a skin/theme program or some such to move it. Part of why I stick to the one large monitor, ie:

Watercooling, dual cpu's, dual gpu's. I would have stuck with a single cpu and used the savings for a 3rd gpu, as my i7 950 hits 30% at MOST when i'm doing everything there is to do. Still, a relaly nice rig. Overall specs? that mobo looks like one I saw a whileago, intel skullthump or something, that did dual procs.

But that's a small monitor... 22? 24?

I don't actually have the room for larger monitors. I don't use the configuration like this \_/ because, as you can see, I use my gaming rig for other things as well, and the flat configuration works better for me when I'm writing music.

As far as length of play in 3D, as long as I'm taking like 20 minute breaks regularly, I can play pretty much all day without getting headaches. Otherwise, it's about 3 hours tops.

it'd be so nice if we could move it to the top of the screen or something instead.

you may not be overheating but you are choking the airflow to such extremely hungry components, you are going to limit the longevity of such things if you dont put them in a proper flowing case

and micro atx in a gaming PC doesnt compute...and you are definitely not in the 40s under load with a 950, that is not that cool of a CPU, i've seen those hitting 100C under load with a stock cooler

40's at idle. The thing never hits full load unless i'm doing video encoding. It has so much raw power it's rediculious.
