            I use a 32" sony led panel as my monitor... Had a friend who used his 50" plasma as his monitor and sat 4 feet from it.. I would have gotten all wireless mouse and keyboard instead of go blind or have intense eye pains.

              Someone gave you that exact rig, Seven? I can only imagine how much electricity gets consumed.

                I used my Toshiba DLP projector TDP-WX5400U set at 16' x 12' for mine. the bulbs cost 400$ and only lasted 1200 hours though.I got a year out of it and sold it when they told me the bulb cost.Sure was sweet.

                  Not really. I only found that pic by accident yesterday and wanted to share it.

                  The question is not "What video card", the question is "How many video cards".
                  Please follow the link above and see how many computers are necessary to achieve this.


                  But I of course agree to most of you...
                  It must lead to eye pains if you play with this setup, hehe.
                  But as you see again:

                    Here's how this went down:

                    Boss: Uh, Seven, I need to talk to you? In private. There have been some ... uh ... changes ... around the company lately that I need to discuss with you.

                    Seven: Err?

                    Boss: As you know, the company is NOT doing well and ... well ... there is good news and bad news.

                    Seven: What's the bad news?

                    Boss: Your "computer guy" job has been outsourced and will be handled by "Dave" in India. Due to your hard work, I was able to retain you, but you'll be "Parking Lot Security" manager and make sure there is no fighting in the bathrooms and such.

                    Seven: So then what's the good news?

                    Boss: You'll have your own office and 24 monitors and we don't really monitor the security guys ... I mean ... they're the security!

                      Seven, you said "This was me, when my owner made me that present", in english im pretty sure that meant when the Owner of that rig made you that PC a present (ie,giving to you,made it a present). Sorry, your post was leading me to believe some guy just up and gave you that setup. HA!

                      The system is driven by 12 linux servers (2 monitors per server) using Distributed Multihead X (DMX) and Chromium. Chromium distributes the OpenGL rendering from the head node to all of the servers.
                      That hardly tells me the real juicy info that I want to know, like what generation of gpu's or what chipset? Half ass review

                            Mindf!3ldzX, this thread was just a fun-thread to show something cool-looking.
                            Sorry if I confused people.
                            I guessed you know me a little more in the meantime.
                            I mean, I am a monkey. What else can I say ?

                            Yes, and something big is coming out of this cave very soon
                            I worked hard in my cave and was happy to have a good setup to make something new....
                            Stay tuned
