I'm finally getting all my hardware for a good gaming rig. So, I need help in buying three matching 19" 1280x1024 panels, with DVI inputs. What should I go with?

Here is my rig rundown run-down:
P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP
Intel E6700
4GB XMS2 Corsair RAM
4x Samsung 320GB T-Series HDD
LiteOn SATA Optical Drive
Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro
Enermax Infiniti 720W
Lian-Li Black PC-777

I don't know much about RAM. This Corsair RAM looked pretty good. I plan on setting up a 1-2GB RAMDISK, so that I can take good in-game videos with FRAPS, without having to thrash my HDD or take a bigger FPS hit.

I'm going to mount one HDD internal for swap file. I'm going to put the other three in trays, so that I can swap between three HDDs. I'm going to load a "clean" install of WinXP SP2 on one, to use for the games I'm "really" playing such as Guild Wars. I'm going to load WinXP on the second one, and use it to download demos and such. That way my normal performance won't suffer was it gets crudded up, or if it crashes. The last I'm going to install Vista.

Hey Ibrin,

I am using 3 Dell 1908FP digital panels here and they look and work great. They have a 5ms respponse time so there is no tearing in my games or videos. The image quality is very good when connected to the TH2Go Digital, it's crisp, clean and bright. I would recommend them to anyone.

Hi Magic Man,

It's about an inch maybe 3/4 inch. But they are black so it doesn't really bother me and with Bezel Mangement it lines everything up nicely.

Thanks for the reply Richie - that's each monitor I take it rather than two together?

I've just placed an order for 3x HP LP1965s. I've also ordered the DS100 Ergotron stand and another NeoFlex HD swing arm. Going to try and mount th multi-mon arm on the HD flex, to get it all up off my desk...

Sounds great bud ...
I think you will have trouble connecting the arm to the wall mount ...
Ergotron should do a triple wall mount.

I have the LX Triple Display Lift Stand ... it's great ... :D
