So I've been working on joining the military, and yesterday almost made it official that I'm doing the Army.

And for my specific job, I'll be getting a HUGE signing bonus. Combine that with the good money I'll be making, and I'm going to be building a new PC when I get to it. And one of the most epic things I'm doing = FIVE MONITOR SETUP. I'll need a custom desk to house this setup, and all my monitors will be mounted on the wall behind the desk. I plan to have three of those monitors operate as one single monitor (for ultra-widescreen gameplay), and the other two will be separate. I'll likely have the absolute top-of-the-line videocard (with A LOT of RAM) to run the three-as-one monitors, then another separate one (no SLI/Crossfire - they're going to run individually) to run my other two monitors. I'm thinking all five will be 1080p, with the three for ultra-wide gameplay being 22" and the two others being 24".

At the same time, I may just make these two separate systems at the same desk - one system for the 3 gaming monitors, the other for the 2 non-gaming. This will give me full control over all monitors at any given time. I'll just run the audio into an audio controller and out into one set of speakers.

I may also have that second PC running a large touchscreen monitor mounted to the side on a swivel mount.

I am insane, I know. But I'm doing it.

You should wait for AMD to launch the Eyefinity Edition 5870 - 2 GB GDDR5 and six outputs, it'll have.

Yes. Or whatever Nvidia has in competition to that.

does AMD have anything thats like the 3d that nvidia has?

You're right,the video card has to be updated

They've announced 3D Blu-ray decoding, but for games no. Their technology is capable of it, but clearly they don't think the market is profitable or large enough to try for. They seem to be backing multiple-monitor more than 3D.

If 3D becomes more popular in the future I'm sure they will.

Ahh, well I shall go with 3d then. Multi-monitor is so costly! lol

*drools.*

I am a hardcore AMD/ATI fanboy - I WILL not buy nVidia, even if it's technically "better" - so, ah, hold on. Got a hard-on to adjust suddenly. ;D

No, really. That sounds epic. I won't get my massive signing bonus until I complete my job training, and my job is a massively complicated one so I get OVER A YEAR of training. As a result, I won't be building this PC until the fall of 2011.

Plenty of time for that gorgeous card to come out, wouldn't you say?

By 2011, Radeon HD 6000s will be out. :P

And Bulldozer, if all goes well.

Bulldozer?
