Still, a relaly nice rig. Overall specs? that mobo looks like one I saw a whileago, intel skullthump or something, that did dual procs.

A few things have changed since that image was taken.

EVGA SR-2 Motherboard
2x Intel X5680 Xeons, 6 Cores @ 3.33Ghz each
2x ATI 5970s, so more like Quadfire.
12GB Triple Channel DDR3(2 sets of 6GB)
Intel PRO/1000 NIC
ASUS Xonar DX
OCZ VertexII 60GB
2x WD Velociraptor 300GB in RAID0

Some of this I already had, like one of the 5970s, sound card, NIC, etc.

This would be ideal. Or just have a box appear in the middle of the screen with menu options, and that way you could drag it where ever you wanted.

Wow, it looks REALLY small in the picture for some reason. Maybe because the computer case on the left is so big, I was using it as a size comparrison.

Yes, that's a Danger Den LDR-29 Double Wide. It's 29" tall.

Try something like Slider Dock. I bind the hide/show command to a mouse key, works well.

so heres my build, I returned these three GPUs and got reference Sapphire Toxics that I unlocked to radeon 6970 spec

and heres the setup playing Dirt 3

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-_...0/IMAG0058.jpg(screenshot taken off of old PC before new one was finished being built, was running a single 5870 hence the low framerate)

The right monitor is screwed up in its placement since I had to rig something together until the remodeling on my house is done, I have a much bigger desk I will be moving everything to then, once I move my equipment to that desk then I'll have that small TV mounted on the top right with my PS3 hooked up to it, the other two monitors on the top currently have my older PC hooked to them, put FFXI on those most of the time while I use the new PC to eyefinity game on the bottom

I had a 6870 before the 580's, if i'd have known this was possible iwth that I'd have had multi-monitors a LONG time ago...

This is my old case, so my new case had to be tiny:

You have less space in yours than I do in mine. As long as there's sufficient airflow, there's no need for a big open case. Air comes in, air goes out. As long as it moves easily enough, you're fine.

Also, someone posted this for me in a tech support thread, so I thought I'd share. I was shopping for grpahics cards and laptops, and was trying to figure out where hte cards stood in comparrison to my old gtx280. Seems to have everything.

yikes, I wouldn't even go above 1920x1200 unless it's at least 30", everything just looks too damn small at that res + screen size for me
