Widescreen + Multiboxing

Finally got it all put back together. Added a Triple monitor widescreen surround gaming setup to my Multiboxing setup.
It uses Three 24" monitors attached to a Matrox TripleHead2GO at a resolution of 5040x1050. You can learn more about this format at WideScreenGaming

I also use two sets up Philips amBX ambient lighting systems. See more about amBX

I love my Anthro Fit Console desk. It hold everything so nicely and it's mobile. See details from Anthro.

Still tweaking my UI, so many options now with so much space. Using Xperl, Carbonite, and Bartender. Trying to get Moveanything, to actually moveanything!

It's ambience. Atmosphere, mood, etc.... absolutely has no benefit in games. The systems with the speakers have poor sound quality compared to other speaker systems. It's hard to beat the effects at night, the colors are very cool.

The software with the kit works with any DirectX game or application. It basically sees what colors are on the screen and spread those colors to the lamps. It's highly customizable and works with most games.

Heh, I just saw that the setup is on sellout.woot.com today for $70.

Air effects? Heh.

Insane setup mate. Sadly as a 5boxing student this is not possible for me yet.

Just got me a full HD 24 inch screen today to make my life easier but this stays a wet dream for now. Tho the AMbx might be worth getting sooner. Does it also work on movies?

Yes, I am using it with the included Windows Media player/media center plugin. But as I understand it there is an FXGen utility that would work with any DVD/movie playback that uses directX output. Link
