    You say you want three monitors?

    Somehow this is kinda scary. Being a hardware nut can obviously get seriously out of hand.

      So many computers...

      With a Parhelia you could do much better with only 4 computers.
      6 screens side to side (instead of 7 in the pict), 3 above and 3 below.

      And you'll propably get better performance and visual quality.

            I think that a real plane would cost less money!

              but a real plane would be difficult to get inside your livingroom.
              This sig is a shameless atempt to make my post look bigger.

                People spend insane amounts of money on this kind of thing. I was just reading yesterday about a guy who purchased the front end of a scrapped 747. Now he has a full cockpit for his simulator.

                      Is this the picture of the secret al-kaida training room or what?

                      Seriously, that setup has to consume quite a lot of power and definitely puts out more than just the average dose of radiation...
                      Someday, we'll look back on this, laugh nervously and change the subject.

                        I had to assist in cleaning out our offsite stock room (read : wire cage in a warehouse where everyone who cant be arsed to dispose of their old equipment via refurbishers dumps their crap) and accquired no less than 3 full size IBM AT keyboards, plus an IBM small format keyboard with the fullsize sprung keys.

                        Given the staying power of the old IBM AT keyboard, I now have enough to last me until I die, then be passed on to my descendants.
