      I don't have space for 3 19" monitors, and I don't really want to shell out for them either.

        I've read somewhere that the gaming resolution for surround gaming is 3x 800x600, can anyone confirm/deny this ?

        I might try a surround gaming config (14"-17"-14", the 14"s go up to 1024x768@75 Hz) as an experiment, but I doubt I have the space to maintain such a setup... I will also try it with 2 mono vga-displays (but alas: they are limited to 640x480), just to see what that gives.

          It depends on the game.
          The max Parhelia can do is 3x 1280x1024 (3840x1024).

          There is no option in the poll for "Already doin it"

            I would most definitely love to have a 3 CRT or flat panel set up who wouldn't weeeeeee. But I just dont have the appropriate room for it unfortunetly in my study at the moment. Plus I already have a Geforce 4 Ti4600 so I'm doing fine so far.

                I would love to, but haven't really got the space. To buy 2 more screens I would have to go with CRTs.

                But then, even if I had the desk (which I am sure I will one day), imagine the power that would consume. Never mind the number of plug sockets needed... the wiring in the house I am living in now (renting) is dodgy enough already!

                Computer: up to 300W
                Monitor: 60W each?

                That's half a kW already! And computers, unlike kettles, are on for significant amounts of time...

                  I'll do it, but how much i'll be able to use it depends on the electricity bill the first month...

                  I'm getting more than enough in bills as it is, but since i've got the room and the CRT's (17, 19, 17) it'd be a shame not to use it...

                      I think the top option will cover it.

                        I'm with you, I already noticed when my PC was down the Electric bill went down quite a bit...
                        I already have 2 17"ers (@1280x1024 each) and I think a refurbed 17"er would be cheaper and get more Desktop space than a 19"er...

                        I'm more interested in having the TV connect to the 3rd head for easy cable fussing free DVD output..

                          Hmm I think I can do it, but I would need to get another computer desk and an additional 19in Monitor to go along with my 21 and the 19inch one that I'll be getting back from the GF when we move in together. Put me down as very Possible

                            I'd love to, but I'm using dual 21" CRTs already, and there's no way I'll be able to find space for another. It wouldn't be worth changing the 21s for 19 or 17, so I'm kinda stuck.........

                              If I had the money for three 18in black TFT's, instantly. But that's quite out of reach and don't have space for three crt's.
                              When I was still a kid, my parents got me a Packard Bell. I've never been happier. Now it's degraded to a foot support.
