What to do with your dad's old spare monitor...

You hook it up to your PC which already had 2 screens and 2 videocards of course!

The result after a tad of software tweaking:


Oh Yeah!  ;D

Haha. Looks like you got yourself a personal flight simulator.

Beware, might be too much eye movement to be efficient in fps or wow similar games :)

Last time when some of my ex pals at work got a 2meters diagonal LCD display (for global process monitoring purposes), the departament manager used it to play Starcraft on it.   It sucked! ;D

Hmm, the muscles in my neck will be tested with this setup for sure.

Have to admit WoW isn't the best game for this, sure it's handy to see fires from further away, but it has some "features" like whenever I release a mousebutton the cursor appears on my right monitor... plus addon placement gets kinda messed up (yes, that is why I have disabled my UI for the picture :P)

I have also played DiRT 2 with it, and that game suits the triple monitors alot better :)

Probably not gonna use this setup for long though, since I have to sacrifice my SLi to enable the third monitor. (Which is kinda sucky if you're gaming at a resolution of 4480x1080)
