nVidia surround is awesome!!!

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.

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

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.

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

(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.

play the game on a 120 inch screen projector trust me your wife would think that's cool

[nasomi]

That sounds... terrible. Even if it were crazy high res, the quality is misserable. Can you even read the text? and at best you're limited to 1920x1200 resolution, and that's a $10k projector. May be for you, but not my cup of tea.

it all depends on how far away you're from the screen. One would assume it'd be in a home theater setting, in which case he'd be at a decent distance away from the screen.

also, good quality 1080p projectors aren't exactly expensive these days.
