Show Us Your Rig [2]

Lol... Sounds almost like my build, I get most things from eBay (newer CPU and GPU currently in transit from USA). Only thing I bought locally was my case and PSU.

Multiple graphics cards would generally either be Nvidia SLI (Scalable Link Interface - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) or ATI CrossFire (AMD CrossFire - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Generally speaking, it's to give your PC a performance boost in the graphics-based department.

The basic idea is that the graphics processing is shared between multiple cards... Mostly for gaming rigs and high-end server setups (they sometimes use GPU power to add to the processing power of the server CPU). A good example in games is the ability to have alternate frames rendered by alternating GPUs; so frames 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, ect by GPU 1 and frames 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, etc by GPU 2.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, I kinda thought that was the way of it. Cheers!

Everybody else cleaned their desk i thought i go Ohnatural

Nice build robbymcnob, You got lots of value for the money. Mine cost me $300 (Can) per part for some of the parts. Glad to hear you have had good dealings with ebay after reading about so so many people being scammed on this forum (Re: Windows 7 technet keys).

couple of little tweaks (mainly the heads height (height of monitor(s)))

brand (acer) new second monitor to replace the dieing CTX, new speakers, new wiring job on the desk... exactly how i like it though..oh..wait..the beer's missing.. who stolez my beer?

VIDEOTOUR

That does look too low.
Earlier in this (or the other SUYR) thread, there was a topic going on about the LCD monitor stands.
I think one of those 3x1 ones would do you justice.

how about those VESA Desk mounts? they can go upto four monitors.... and fully customizable from what I heard... (even rotation for easy viewing of a4 papers...)

i was gonna buy one but i cant fit it to my kitchen work-surface...

Max how long did it take you to tidy your desk and work space .... lol

My 'rig' a few pages back would appear to have passed away: https://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-d...even-boot.html
Ironically, it wasn't the hard drive that did it (see my system specs info), the rest of the computer beat it to it :'(
