Third monitor has landed...and it's alive!

View attachment 110320

It's not exactly symmetrical, with a 23" in the middle and two 21.5" on the sides, but that's surprisingly not noticeable when gaming. The photo is of Metro2033. The monitors are angled such that the side monitors' bezels are behind the middle one from my seat, so there is only one bezel view-able between screens. It works quite well actually.

Now I can bench triple-monitor goodness whenever I please...and game occasionally if there is ever time to do so.

Nice setup.

My next MVG went on the road today, hopefully will be here Thursday:

I think that tatoo just talked them into it so he could replace all the good parts with some junk and load the rest into his white van in the parking lot when no one is looking :sn:

Seriously though, don't get caught benching at work :salute:

got my new MVG today... vaselined up and its running full pot currently. Did everything the same, so the last board was indeed just coldbugged.

So basically, it cost me $260 for one good MVG, as I bought 2 for $400, and sold the bad one for $150 - shipping. Not a terrible deal, but aggravating.

Stream?

I.M.O.G. · May 23, 2012

Maybe later, been up for 45 minutes now and running 32m, but I may be shutting down. Girl just got home and we may have some things to do... If I end up running longer, or later, I'll post the stream

Acquired my new Muskin 8GB 1600mhz RAM

I kinda impulsed bought it. I had my heart set on some G Skill X Series RAM, but I heard constantly that the heatsinks on them could conflict with coolers...

Researched the G Skills for like 4-5 hours...

Then in a 5 minute alternative decision, I went with the Muskin Blacklines.

Hey! Atleast I'm supporting a company that does good work, AND originates from a State I live in! Woohoo!
