Eh... While it looks nice that's nothing new or unique. There's been forums with people posting pretty much identical setups for years. The metal piping instead of tubes isn't seen very often but I've seen it a few times.

I haven't been here in years, but this used to be a pretty good forum for it.

Here is the gallery thread. You can see a bunch of very similar setups on the most recent pages even, it seems to me. The photos aren't as professional but the builds themselves are very similar.

Why does that link have 15 pictures?

Buddy is full of himself. It's neat, but 2 pics is fine.

Yeah, my I7 3930 rig with 32 gigs of 1866 ram and SSD drives is quite the shit pile.

Maybe I'll get upset at the nerd hate and cry.

LOL.

Looks good, I thought :smirk:

Mentioned before, but just installed new SSD, HDD & OS so I should have thought to take pictures.
Will do soon, but it might be like an archeological find compared to some rigs you people access :question:

you want a real man's rig, read through his previous build. Fucking mindblowing the lengths he went to to, and even more mindblowing that soon after finishing it he decided to dismantle it.

The monitors he used for this build are the same ones I have:

Honestly don't see why you would want your image draped across multiple monitors, particularly for gaming. I've never been able to get past the annoyance of the screen edges/bezels breaking it up...

Does anyone here have a split monitor setup- do you get used to it?

that, is an issue, yes. and ultimately they should eventually manufacture some 'curved in' 4K monitors. But I imagine your brain quickly makes up for the cracks once you're gaming.

one big flat screen has technical hurdles that cannot be overcome.... your field of view is happy looking at a surface that is better described by drawing it based on a radius from your viewpoint... the result is not a flat area, but more like oversized douchie looking Oakley sunglasses. the 3 monitors have the ability to be better positioned in a manner that surround your POV in a more natural arrangement. Simply having a bigger monitor will eventually either make the outer edges unusable , or if you where to position it further away, well you might as well have a smaller monitor, thus rendering having a bigger monitor pointless.
