ew ew ew ribbon cables
go all sata
Also, your two powerhouse graphics cards are totally overkill and generate unnecessary noise and heat. Swap the second out for another $10 PCI-E card. Then give it to me.

I'm going to get one of those rounded IDE cables eventually, cheaper than buying new drives just for SATA. I'd buy something like this but it would end up being even MORE expensive than just buying new optical drives.Quote:

Edit - Heh, I came up with a decently witty comment from some recent posts here to go along with my case from now on;
"Some say it looks like a particle accelerator, and that it eats diced velociraptors for breakfast... All we know, is it's called The-Tank."
that's a fantastic looking computer, jealousy not withstanding.
To be honest, I would never even consider using the TripleHead2Go box. Even if I had the absolute best graphics cards out there and I could increase performance with Crossfire/SLI, I wouldn't take advantage of it because it would be more of a nuisance than an advantage.
With the box, I'm pretty sure it makes all your monitors appear as one to your desktop. So, Windows would behave as if it was only one screen. If you ever maximize a window, it will go across all monitors, which blows ass. You wouldn't be able to dock stuff to the sides of individual screens. Your taskbar would start all the way on the left monitor and end all the way on the right. Also, every game you play would HAVE to support the device for the screen resolution and the HUD.
It comes with some software that addresses most of those issues jcap, I believe you can "define" the actual monitors within the software so you can choose which monitors you would like certain programs to maximize on. The taskbar issue can also be addressed iirc.
cable management? lol?

Get in there with a razor and chop off whatever doesn't look important, that box is a mess.Quote:

Nah that looks fine all Snaf needs is some blue LEDs and strobe lights in the case
Small gpu's? I've only got one and it's a 4650. :v:
