Im digging the hardware and setup but wouldnt you want to try to rotate the outer monitors towards you a bit? I know its tough with this setup but IMO this is how you get the best experience out of triple monitor games.

I did used to have the other monitors angled in more, but it actually looks better when they are not, as surround and eyefinity render the image as a single flat display. so there is very little distorting or change when things pan accross the screens.
And they fill your field of view anyway because of the size of the screens, I've noticed that the smaller the screen , the more people tend to angle them. I used to have my 24 inch screens angled much more and it suited them.

Recently finished my setup in my bedroom its a small-ish room so ive mounted the monitors onto the wall. Ive been PC gaming on and off for 12 years now and for the last 2-3 years ive found gaming on my bed is great, with only the sofa as the next most comfortable setup which i'll do after ive saved enough money for a deposit on a mortgage.

Build:
2cm thick ply wood sheet screwed onto the wall (plaster board onto a 3x2" timber frame) across the wall length, painted same colour as the wall (red/blue walls as of 8 years ago - i used to be very patriotic for my countries union flag. It'll do until ive saved enough money for a deposit on a mortgage.
1x flat wall bracket, 2x swivel wall brackets.
1x cable trunking, white to match the wall shelves, otherwise wouldve gone for black to match the monitors.
3x 27" ASUS VE278Q moitors, 60Hz, 2ms.
3x 5meter DVI cables

Im an electrician so:
a 4-way exension socket behind and feeding the 3x monitors. Fed from a 4-way surge protection socket under my bed feeding PC, speaker system, keyboard. Fed from a switch on my bedside table. Fed from the wall socket by the far-end monitor - where my desk used to be.

a blue LED strip light behind the monitors is connected to my bedrooms night-light circuit connected to other strip lights around the room for a low-lighting effect during dark hours. Switchable from the rooms 3-way wall switch by the door.
