Quad Monitors - Computer Setup

Would love to see some shots of the old motherboards? mounted on your wall!

Very cool, thanks for sharing!

Do you have to clean them often/do they get really dusty?

A little bit. I have more fans in than out so the High pressure gets most dust out. In terms of the room, it's also higher pressure than outside because of the aircon.

It's a Bitcoin mining plant!

What's with the cables running between the boards? Is it a running system?

I'm going to say it is purely for decoration. The power supplies aren't even plugged in.

Haha, I wish. It's just for looks.

I really want to do something like this. I've got so many parts lying around I might as well.

Finished school or finished robbing a store?

I was wondering how someone who just finished school has all this extra money laying around...

He's probably a tech/comp sci/engineer. Their interns sometimes make more than I do at my post college job of 3 years.

I have a job but was hunkered down studying.

Haha, I was thinking of blurring it out, oh well.

Do you have a link to the wallpaper in the first picture?

I second this request. That wallpaper would look sweet on my setup!

For another 100 bucks and a bit of shopping around you could have had the 2013 15" retina with a slightly slower cpu (not super noticeable), but a massively faster dedicated graphics card.... Why the 13" if you don't mind me asking? Size?

Definitely size. The 15" is rather big

I'll be carting it around at uni and need it to be relatively light.

I'm curious about your monitor setup. You have two plugged into integrated? I'm running two off my 7950, could I also drive my hdmi tv on integrated as I need an active adapter in order to use it on my 7950. What do you think and if so how do I set it up? I'm currently having to disable a secondary to run it.

Im running into the same problem as well. OP, how'd you do it?

I was always told that you can either run through the graphics card or through integrated, also want to know how he did it.

You can change the settings in bios. Set igp to always on. It works on my b85 mobo but support might vary on different chipsets.

May have done this.

We must have the answer.

I don't know how... The 6950 is running 2x do, integrated is running and hdmi and vga. I used the windows display manager.

I second this request. That sure looks awesome.

Looks like AEON but who the fuck knows.

Is that a fedora? (#20)

Not every hat is a fedora...

Can someone please tell me how the hell everyones power supply wires are so long?

I'm right there with you, mine barely reach and it looks terrible. But I found the workaround. People buy sleaved extension cables and the original cable/extention cable joint is behind the MB tray.

I knew they had to use extensions. My main power barely even reaches the mobo.

Yep. These are some of the things that aren't told to a new builder before he makes his parts orders. We learn the hard way, unfortunately.

Can you link me to where i could buy extensions cords of this type?

I built my first pc over the summer but it's nowhere as clean as what everyone here does and I'm so jealous. Does anyone have tips on that, I want mine to e as beautiful as all of yours!

I literally spend 3 hours with a pack of zip ties.

Gratz on graduating, What was your major?

What RAM cooler is that?

It was a gskill one that came in one of the ram kits

Yes I would like to know that too please.

That's a 13" retina MacBook Pro, right? I have pretty much the same monitors and I find the MBP is really ruining my monitors for me due to how sharp it is. Are you finding anything similar?

Yeah, depressing looking back to my desktop monitors. Also has all kinds of scaling issues on other OS's.

I never had a problem with using discrete and integrated graphics since ivy bridge? I think it was available for sandy bridge too.

My turntable is identical to that, apart from it being a MusicHall MMF-5. I love that they are both affordable and sound phenomenal.

Do you know the desk mdoel? Looking for something similar for my new office.

Sorry, custom made. I went to an office supply store to get it.

That fan on top of the case.. How do you keep dust away from the inner parts?

Yeah, but what about when the computer is not on?

...You turn you computer off?

Yeah, I'm folding. I offset the power usage with solar panels.

Sadly, I have work and college, so I only have time to use it on weekends. And to think I spent around 2k on it :/

I love the art piece you have with all the older components. I am in the process of making something similar but lack the hardware necessary. PSA: PLEASE SEND ME YOUR OLD DYSFUNCTIONAL HARDWARE.

Haha I have that same monitor (far left)! If I'm not mistaken, is that the control pod for Logitech Z906's? I'm getting them for christmas and would like to know what you think of them.

They're great, not audiophile or anything but still really nice for the price.

Thanks! I might do that but would they mind that I'm running Google edition? (I'm rooted)

Last time I checked, you can't run Hybrid Crossfire. Which is what OP is doing running 2x GPU and 2x Integrated slots. One of the AMD Catalyst drivers broke that capability (i forget what version of drivers). Unless the new drivers now work with it? How'd you do it OP? Also, nice setup!

I sometimes boot and have issues, the messed it up a bit.

Its tempting and practical, but dont wrap those beyers over the monitors or any surface. It will ruin the nice padding.

Ooh, thanks sorry. Won't do that again. I'll find a nice bag to keep them in.

Hell yes another 2500k user. I love that thing. Over clocked at 4.6 and I'm going to use it until I kill it.

Haha, wow. Mine has always overclocked terribly. I run 4.2

With my old asus board I could never get over 4.1 and be stable but whatever gigabyte put in the one I currently use (don't remember exactly which one it is) it's magic.

It's taken forever to get the planets aligned like this.

Yo dat shitz dope. wachaa street nombah?

What xbmc skin is that?

Wallpaper link? Also where do you find wallpapers for triple of even quad monitors (assuming they are all 1920 x 1080)?

I love the blue lighting behind the monitors among all the other awesomeness. Do you just adhere an LED rope back there with sticky tape or something more elegant?

I need a better paying job.. :(

Why would you even bother spending money on a worthless RAM HSF?

It was free. I even said this in the coolcomputersetups album.

I bet you're a hit at parties
