New monitors

[mihon]

Hello, So now i have been thinking of adding 3 more benq xl2420t.
Since i already have 3, and want 3 more. So i was wondering if anyone know if it them all will work with this GPU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121560

And if anyone know a Monitor arms that i attach to the table so i can have them over the other 3 screens.
I hope you understand what i mean.

Is it for the geek factor? Just curious.

[mihon]

I want one for each character and one where i can have Mirc,spotify and other stuff.

And i dont want 3 more beacuse of that, i also need it for my work.

According to http://hardforum.com/archive/index.php/t-1700484.html that card does in fact support eyefinity 6 (6 monitors).
I use the older 5870 to power 5 monitors. Have been for sometime now with no problems.

[mihon]

Okey Thank you, But how have you setup your monitors ? are there any better way then just 3 on a row and 3 above them ?

I have 1 27' in the center, with two towers of 2 22' on the sides.

Here is my setup. With my totally awesomely clean desk.
This is about to change though, as I really like MiRai's Monitor Arms.
I bought one for my wife several months ago and its awesome, so will upgrade my two sides later.

That looks nice, i was thinking to have it like this 987

Or like you, but have the 2 screens of each side as towers, and one above the middle.
But i cant find any monitor arm that is high enough to go over the lower screen.



EDIT: I found this http://www.btechavmounts.com/product-range/products/bt7372
Any have an idea if that will go over the screens so i can have them setup as mycket picture.

I don't much about that exact arm you linked to so can't comment much on it.
I am looking at getting two of these for my side monitors: http://www.amazon.com/Ergotron-Lx-Dual-Stacking-Arm/dp/B0036RDOT8/ref=pd_sim_e_6

Kind of pricy but I know they are good.
There are plenty of dual stacker stands out there that should work for you.

[mihon]

So i just ordered 3 more screens, 3 AX2000 monitor stands(hopefully they will get over the other screens:D) and ofcourse 3 display port adapters.

[Norrin]

Very cool.

[mihon]

Very cool.


Yeah :D Thank you for the tips about those stands, but they were way to expensive if i was gonna need 3 of them and 3 screens more.
So i took 3 that costed 80 euro each instead.

Might upgrade to them one day, if i see them in the stores here in sweden.
Since i dont wanna buy outside europe and i couldnt understand shit on Amazon germany :D

I went with way cheaper stands too when I first set everything up. I think I paid $89 (US) for each stand I have now. They work pretty well. No complaints except for weight maybe.

I will not be upgrading real soon either. I am still trying to decide if I want to go down to 3 27' monitors and lose the other two.
When I moved up to 5 screens it wasn't necessarily for boxing, though it was a please, but for work. Now that I don't do much Flash or IOS I really need 5 monitors.

And going to only 3 monitors simplifies things greatly.

True that, well as i said earlier in this thread i dont only need them for multiboxing i also need for my work.
But it must be hard going from 5 to 3 screens.

[mihon]

989 Thats how it looks like now, im really happy :D Just got some tweaking to do, and a new desk later in a couple of weeks.

[Norrin]

That looks awesome!

[mihon]

That looks awesome!

Thank you :D But my house not so much, boxes everywhere.

[MiRai]

Looks good.
