Vista - Show us your rig

lol.......no, in order to properly game with 3x monitors, you need a screen splitter (for the 3 way config), which i believe is about £350, then you would need at least a GTX295 to push a decent fps through all three... (not sure an SLI config actually works with a splitter..??)

what is required? SLI?

ok here's mine...it's a total dream to work on...i'm very proud of all the work i did to make it a clean build...i slaved over every last wire so there wouldn't be an inch of excess anywhere...i was concerned about better cooling for the 2 hard drives that are seated above the 6 that are bookended in the removable drive cage on the lower right, but finding nothing online i was satisfied with, i ended up designing my own cooling solution with 2 small fans that i placed in such a way that they blow upwards directly onto the circuit boards on the undersides of the drives at about 6300 rpms...as for the cooling system i've chosen is very modest- just two good heat sinks and two 4 wire fans that are monitored and rpms speed adjusted by the motherboard as temps warrant, and even at full load, they hold the temps down to 58 C which is just as good as mineral oil cooling....as you can see, one of these pictures shows my 2 NEC 24" digital monitors, but monitor number 3 is behind me (my samsung 46" LCD flat screen TV) which i can watch hi def movies on, and have 2 full desktops to do whatever i want with during that time...when i turn my machine on, it's like an airplane taking off...the best part is- while the board starts to post, it completes the memory test, and then turns on the SAS and SATA drive controllers, and the spin up sounds sooo cool

very nice this i wanna see

Final pics of my new Dragon Rig. Gave up waiting on Komplett to deliver the PSU, so just went out and bought one directly. It's not the OCZ GameXStream I wanted, as the LED fan would have added to the effect, but what the hell,it works perfectly and I had absolutely NO problems with any of the construction or initialisation. Still waiting to hear back from them.Off to play some games now...

very nice thats what i've been wanting to build lately.... one like that.............. except two HD4890's would make me happier

Thanks...You'd certainly have the space for 2 x 4890's. I've seen alot of people giving out about their inability to do proper cable management in the Antec 900, but it is what you make it...and I will admit, the hardest part of putting it together, was getting the side panel behind the mobo back on after I'd finished tieing all the cables down (had to place the cover over the side with the excess cables, and then lay it flat overnight to let the sheer weight press the cabling flat...but it worked) And after all the moaning I used to do giving out about Vista(32bit version), I have to say that I was well impressed and still am with the 64bit Ultimate version...It's true when it comes to computers,you get what you pay for...
