[wagex]

i think when i voted i broke the website im sorry lol i couldnt refresh right after i voted

 

[Conumdrum]

adamelmore for the sheer awesomeness gets my vote.

Then the MOVE arcade machine, very cool.

Then Hokies very nice, neat, well done watercooling system.

Money don't matter, but a Toyota Camry next to a $120,000 BMW, which one will I like better?

Another vote for Adamelmore. It's one thing to drop a bank on a new build but I've seen some that cost as much or more but don't look as clean. Very understated styling with the LED strip and white fans and very clean with the cables all properly dressed and routed. Nicely done. I also love the arcade game rig. If I had back all the time I spent in front of one those things in high school I'd be a young man again. All very nice rigs but I can only vote once.

One thing I like is it makes us clean our desks and perfectly adjust everything. When I posted some pics years ago I scrubbed it all. Perfect. Never looked like that again! Yes, the wife did mention it months later.

Women! Am I right? Huh?

 

[Conumdrum]

Women! Am I right? Huh?

No really, my wife of 28 years isn't a neat freak. My PC desk is much messier than my desk at work.

But, when it comes time to present your shiny stuff, you clean it.

Like the PC I just built, I 'had' to buy PSU cable extenders of uber quality, because if I don't, all the dogs here will bark at such a messy rig from me.

It's pretty, wire management took way too long.

Like the 4 hours to make the PC desk pretty when the pic takes 3 seconds to take.

I getcha tho, I do.

Haven't checked this in a while. Holy crap I'm giving him a fight! See people, don't be afraid to enter.

 

[caddi daddi]

it's back to the drawing room for me, they all look so awesome!!!!!

 

[clash]

Wow, i hate to sound like a cheerleader.. But everyone of you should be proud of what you have built. Just amazing.

 

[caddi daddi]

noob here.
what does adamelmore see? a single image spread across all those screens or eight copys of the same scene or just what can he do with that??????

 

[Horrerblade]

Anything he wants lol he can either duplicate it on all the screens or each screen can represent a part of a bigger picture.

There are three options. You could have it repeat the same image on all of the screens, you could use each screen as a separate "window" (for different applications in each window) or you could run it in Eyefinity, which extends the desktop to all eight monitors.

For gaming across all monitors (which isn't practical on eight monitors b/c of the bezels; it's more common with three-monitor setups), you have to use Eyefinity. For productivity I usually extend the desktop to my displays (I've only got three though, not eight) so I can have three windows open independently. This is what my desktop looks like when writing a review with just two monitors. I've added a third for Eyefinity testing now so the windows aren't as overlapping.

Eyefinity is a pain for productivity because if you maximize something, it goes to all of the displays. If you just extend the desktop, when you maximize something, it just maximizes to the display on which the window sits. That itself is a pain because if you want to game, you have to re-enable Eyefinity.

Anyway, now you know.

Same here Hokie one screen with my work on the other with all my Temps and monitor programs or video's to listen to as well.
