I simply do NOT have this kind of cash to put something like this together.

OH? Can you break down how much you spent on what in your setup?

of course
but I live in EU/PL so stuff cost more usually over there than US

Code:

   x4 925 box
   asrock 890gx e3
   2x2gb elpida 1066 cl7 (work 1333/1600)
   320gb hdd
   750W chieftec 14c
   hd5870 + hd5770 + hd5450  (2xhd5450 will be enough but I exchange some my no need stuff for 5770 and I made very good deal)
   8x226BW + 1x my brother's ASUS but i bought already 9th 226BW and one 223BW
   


anyway I calculated all now and I spent about 900-950eur for whole PC rig of course with monitors. (mobo was free from asrock, but simple 790fx DFI DK will be enough nad cost only 60-70 for used one)
I can mention this wasn't real buying/shopping of stuff. I was hunting for extreme bargains till january first (then I bought first monitor and didnt except if I buy more than 3 monitors ever LOL :lol: )
also I can sell this all stuff for more than 900eur without any problem

one more thing :mrgreen: , I sold 5870 for 300eur , and PROBABLY I bought 5870 e6 for 350 so 5x2 setup will be done on first week of July I hope

I, too, look for bargains. For example, I rarely ever buy games at first release and wait a week or two for someone to run a sale.

As for the three monitors I have: All three are ViewSonic VX2433wm models. I got two of them for $200 each and the third one for $180. All were at sale prices as they usually run around $240 - $250 locally at the shops.

My DP->VGA Monster adapter cost $50 and is working perfectly. I have a very rare occasion where there is a signal loss when coming out of sleep. But, doing a quick CTRL-ALT-DEL and then Cancel brings the display right back.

O_O
my three adapter cost 45$ total, directly from China, and funny is that I read about flickering problems, but I never had them

My Monoprice ones were $20 each, I haven't had any problems with them. I'd say if it bothers you, go and buy one of those.

It happens so rarely...and never in a game....so it's no bother at all. I'll keep the one I have. ;)
