Might I ask why are going all out? Lol. Playing crysis, while hd video rending on another screen?

Also, do you use Linux are you stuck on Windows? I'm dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu.

BF3 just requires a lot of video power when playing on 3 monitors. I can't play at the graphics settings I want with just one 2gb 5870 so I have to upgrade to the 6970s in crossfire.

I'm just running on Win 7.

I've always been more of a PC gamer myself. I was super excited for BF3 and Tribes:Ascend is coming soon so I won't know what to do with myself then.

Three screens definitely adds to the immersion. And you do get such a wider field of view. I love it. It's crazy taxing on the system during gaming, though.

Reminds me of my old 5 computer, 5 monitor flight simulator setup I put together with WidevieW and FS98, plus HOTAS. It was all 15"CRTs except the middle which was a 21". 150 degrees of viewing goodness.

The helicopter suddenly became flyable at that point, because the tilting became obvious across those monitors. The one monitor, by the time you saw the tilt happening, it was too late... now the horizon was extended, and the 'sides of my eyes' view became invaluable in keeping the heli upright. It actually became *FUN* to fly it then.

/Ah, the good ol' days.
//FS2000 came out and changed everything to suck... Then I moved... and it was done, back to one monitor.
