    Gaming across 3 monitors?

    The 5970 has internal Crossfire, but you can also run a pair of them in crossfire, resulting in 4 GPUs. Useful for resolutions in the 5000x2000 range. A pair would fit on my current board, but I would likely get one of these to go with one of these and a pair of these. Otherwise I can't fit this...

    XMarks now supports "open tab sync". I suspect that Merc will find this useful.

    I've been reading tons on the site, very interested. Mainly I enjoy the humor in every bit of text on the site. Review on the 400/2.8

    They have an GigaPan Epic Pro available...so tempting. Lunar, what is the longest lens you have shot with on yours?

    BorrowLenses doesn't look awful. I stuck a sample in my cart: 1D MkIV 200/1.8 Gitzo G-1410 Gimbal Tripod Head Quick Release Plate $627 for all that for the weekend? Not a bad deal, and the price per day falls of dramatically as you approach a week.

    Still no sign of the 5970 E6 cards....has the Canadian dollar devalued this much?

    iPhone syndrome

    I think the Slashdot commenters nailed it; a phone lost in a bar, magically found by a tech review site? This was a leak, either by Apple or by some insider.

    3D capable (120Hz) screens....

    There are issues with doing that, like accidentally deleting a post that a forum member had replied to.

    I was going to mention Combofix, but couldn't remember the name. Changing the name of the executable may also be required (I recommend somethingrandom.cmd.

    Firefox 3.5 is out.

    Funny how they say "optimized this" and "optimized that" and then they say "no native 64-bit client". I know why, but it's not like the browsers aren't plenty fast these days, anyway.

    If what you want doesn't exist, hasn't existed, and isn't likely to exist; I would suggest just a bit of compromise ;)

    Ouch. My office has carpet with an annoyingly fine pattern to it. Once a screw is dropped, it won't be found again until you take off your shoes and start walking around.

    Gigabyte X58A-UD9 sneak peek

    My soon-to-be workstation will likely be the Gigabyte in the OP, a PCIe-based SSD, a watercooled 5970 E6, and a power supply. With the PSU and watercooling radiator/pump/reservoir elsewhere, there won't be any noise to hear. The only thing mounted is the Mobo with the parts hanging off it.

    In CS6 I demand improvements in the content aware software that allows it to accurately create porn where there wasn't any. Just imagine some of the awesome by-products; run it frame-by-frame on your favorite movie and get....your favorite movie with naked people!

    600GB Velociraptor

    There is a very narrow band where TCO can justify SAS architecture these days. Otherwise, SATA (either 7.2k or SSD or...raptor) rules the day. Unless you believe that SAS drives are inherently more reliable? Not in my experience.

    A noisy northbridge fan? Dual CPU and 7 16x (mechanical) PCIe slots?

    Gigabyte X58A-UD9 sneak peek

    Just mount the board on the wall; screw the case. If you have that big an e-peen, you may as well flaunt it. It will make routing all the watercooling for the Fermi cards easier as well (you were planning on folding, no?)

    This looks to be a good start. If you start with the geeks' workstations, and provide flawless performance and service, then they might give you a shot in the server rack.

    Way sweet, but Xeons get seriously pricey. Besides, with 6 cores on a single CPU, you need to have a very specific task to saturate even more cores.

    I just power down the drive after not writing anything to it for a while (just like USB thumbdrives). Haven't had any issues yet.

    Awesome. Certainly needs more work. It needs to be able to draw from other images, not just that one, to rebuild the deleted portion ;) Merc, click the link.

    You could always use it in USB mode, but you would have a potential performance hit.

    An interesting point. If it synced with the monitor you were looking at at the moment, that could be disconcerting.

    Gaming across 3 monitors?

    I've decided to hold off on buying that many large screens until I can get them 3D capable as well, even if the first GPU I hook them to (5970 E6) can't support it.

    3D capable (120Hz) screens....

    Thanks Handruin, but the largest screen there is 23", doesn't have DP, and isn't available anywhere. I'm having a really hard time finding the spec even on mfgrs websites. Dell specifies 60Hz for the 3007, but nothing for the 3008 or 2711.

    3D capable (120Hz) screens....

    Am I correct in assuming that all a screen needs to support the current 3D technologies is the ability to operate at 120Hz? Newegg doesn't have that as a search criteria for their monitors (TVs yes, Monitors no). Does anyone know of a listing or resource with such information? For this...

    Completely irrelevant to choices made today. You can get 6-cores now, and in 18 months, when it is available, the CPU will be so expensive that a new motherboard will be chump change.

    My wife's entire family lives there. Just like everything else, city squares full of 10'x10' tents selling everything. No warranty, haggling prices for everything. The only proper stores I found are American and European brands at really amazing markups. A Murcielago costs 5x what it does here...

    Considering the first thing they are getting is a netbook preloaded with Skype to supplement the existing computer (that I installed Skype on the last time I was there), I'm hoping that they will be able to point one towards the other when things go wrong.
