I already have a dual screen setup.

Or I can really go overboard and get something like this.

It's not like I need it but it's nice to have.

Hell, I have 2 extra monitors just sitting here, I need to do something productive with it.

i've been using distilled too. i also have a small piece of silver in the reservoir, but i can't find a link to it... it basically kills any bacteria living in the water.

I'm running dual 19" on a single video port using a Matrox Dual Head. My son has 3 monitors, 2 17" & 1 19", on his system using the SLI cards.

no i was talking about radiators there, sorry. i'm tempted to run 3 screens right now though... 3 24" would be sweet! but overkill for sure. my videocard setup can run 6 if i wanted!

I have a 22'' as my primary and a 19'' as my secondary.

I'm thinking of scraping the 19'' and just running three monitors as well, the two 17'' and my 22''.

I just rebuilt my computer about 6 months ago and as soon as SCII launches (officially), I'm picking up a second video card and running another monitor.
right now, I've just got my 24" Dell monitor. I'm thinking another 20 or 22" is in order.

sorry worded that poorly, I meant "tilla, after the event, post your pics up, I wanna see how that 4 rotor does."

Note: does = insinuate it has yet to happen....
did= would've been the past tense as in it already happened...

I know it hasn't happened yet, I just wanted to ask tilla to take vids

question for you computer guys: Norton Ghost. yay or nay?
I used to use Western Digital's back up software but I'm not liking it very much these days. My desktop now is running dual drives: C drive = strictly programs D drive = all files; pictures, videos, documents, etc etc

I'm shopping for another internal drive (probably 2TB) and want to store images on there.
I'd put them on my external but it's an older WD 500GB that has been giving me issues so I don't want to rely on that to hold images.

Have you guys used Norton Ghost 15? (or recent versions)
do you like it? Does it work well?

I think the last ver of Ghost I've use is 10. I use Ghost at work and home. It's pretty much the IT standard. I guess it's the only thing I know at the moment.
