That should work fine with the proper fans, reading around the net a good few people have run 2-3 fans directly off the header (not using the molex for power as the cable you have does). Another site said up to 5 fans could be run, but you should be able to fill your cable up no problems!

If you are not happy with your monitors, it is entirely up to you what you do. You could do far worse than get a 27" monitor if you think it isn't working out with 3 screens. You seem to have good ideas, I will not sway you one way or another, but I will say that at the end of the day, if you are no...

A 2GB 6970, or 7950 would be great, you might even be able to use a 2GB 6950.

I would personally avoid crossfire because of microstutter, if you really want a pair of cards, SLI might be a better way to go, although I have no experience with SLI.

I would just get the A750 screen, to my knowledge there isn't anything else that comes close, apart from the A950 (which also lacks VESA).

Dell U2312HM might be good enough for 60Hz though, and fills all tick boxes.

I would really get the U2412M, they have VERY low input lag, and by all accounts are very good screens! (at half the price of the U2410). Only reason I would get the U2410 is if you NEED the cardreader, wide gamut, or extra component etc inputs.

Does the ADSLMUE have any sort of port forwarding? Or NAT/ Firewall? Maybe enabling a DMZ to the IP address of the WRT54G would help (should allow everything through transparently).

Overscan setting needs adjusting in probably both the TV and the graphics card options. Not sure exactly what it is called on either of those, as I only have Panasonic/ AMD systems!

The "point" of 120Hz screens are for 3D, which would give you 60Hz per eye. In actual fact, as you said that screen is great for 2D. A lot of people over at HardOCP have it, and the 750D model actually, and like it a lot. The general consensus is that is not as good as a CRT, but is about the best 1...

Now that it has started flashing you have tried swapping the centre screen for the left one (to rule out the screen) and swapped the centre cable for the left cable (to rule out the cable). I would then swap both the cable and the monitor from the centre to the left, to rule out the port on the card...

I would personally stick to something reliably tested to less than 16ms (less than 1 frame at 60Hz) or 8ms (less than 1 frame at 120Hz). But as I said, it is very personal. You could do a lot worse than get 1 and try it, and then return it if you do not like it. That said, a lot of the monitors have...

So armed with just enough knowledge to be dangerous, and with a point in the right directions from valcan_s, I've been searching for the perfect set of TVs for an Eyefinity Setup I've been looking to build. That search has brought me here, to this TV from this vendor: http://hdtvguyz.com/shop/samsu...

SAS is actually really good, and there will be a difference, but not very much. IMO 7200 > 10000 jump is probably larger than 10000 > 15000, because you also jump to 2.5" disks, which means that you are working with a lot lower stroke length, which also helps. I was just meaning, with the high cost ...

SAS support on desktop hardware is limited, so expect to factor in a card for that too, adding to the cost. If you really need 600GB of storage, that is faster than your average drives, drop the cash on a 600GB Velociraptor drive IMO. The other is a waste of cash. Good luck with the other elements o...
