    Default Another 5 box rig

    My setup:

    Main rig:
    Intel E6700 2.66 ghz @ 3.7 ghz
    Gigabyte p35 dq6
    2gb ram
    7800 gtx

    left + right rigs:
    Intel E6550 2.33ghz
    Gigabyte p35 ds3
    2gb ram
    Nvidia 8600 gts

    I run WoW @ 1024x768 at full video settings on left & right. This is ok but fps suffers at times.

    I have a Razer Tarantula and Deathadder. Now the mouse is sweet, (since I modified Multibox :lol, and the keyboard is mostly sweet aside from one little quick: the macro keys wont work whilst holding down any normal keys like WASD. I told Razer this a month ago but apparently can't/won't fix it. It obviously makes them pretty aqward in to use in combat, so I shifted from WASD to ESDF. Aside from that, the thing rocks: for one on the driver you can change any key to anything else.

    For my audio there are Dynaudio bm5 passive monitors and a home built sub with 1 passive 1 active speakers 350w rms amp (rotated 45' for display).

    Anyway, here's another one for the pile.

    Nice one man, LOL at the cables I can see behind your desk.

    I'm extremely surprised you are having FPS issues, though it seems like your running 2 extra machines with dual screens? Not four?

    Coz I only have 8600GT's in mine and they all run 1440 x 900 wide full graphics rock steady all the time without batting an eyelid. Same processor is in all my clones too.

    Same everything in fact except vid card and motherboard.

    Yeah dual screens. It's not so bad, I have 2x anti alising on. 8600 gts is definitely adequate pre BC anyhow. Sometimes it drops to 30 fps, and i like > 60. I recall it gettin bad near Tarren Mill so when I say that its not like in instances neccesarily its just random, maybe system memory or addons who knows.

    I definitely like the 2nd SS set up better. Nice! You must Rock with those speakers there . Your not concerned with magnetic screen warping? Or are they shielded?

    LCDs are not warped by magnets. CRTs fire electrons at, well, your face. They are charged particles and are moved off course by magnets.

    LCDs simply display an image through a polarizer. No magnetic effect.

    Nice setup!!

    I like how clean all of it looks.
    How's the keyboard working out? I've been thinking about getting the same myself for quite some time now.
