Wow, that is awesome. What panels are those?

sorry, they're 23inch, not 24inch apparently:

Looks like the price has dropped a bit. I would have gone with cheaper, non-IPS displays, but I felt like viewing angles are more important when you have multiple monitors since you're not directly in front of the display

My new home office. Three 24inch IPS displays in portrait mode. Absolutely love it :)
Nice setup - but how do you live with those huge bezels? I've been wanting to do a multi-monitor setup but I would need extremely thing bezels. Also, portrait mode is indeed awesome

If I did a lot of work where I needed windows that spanned multiple monitors, the bezels would definitely annoy me. There are times when I use photoshop where it is quite frustrating. However, 99% of the time, I have 3 or more windows open. I use WinSplit Revolution to quickly resize and move any given window to a specific monitor and to either take up one 1 full monitor or half of one. I program in Eclipse most of the time and I typically have it spanning two monitors, but there's a good area to split it up near the bezel.

Nah... those are the original bezel protectors, there is a lot of dust around this place so I just prefer to leave them... behind that screen is also my ps3, wii and a PSU of 450 watts which is in charge of anything that requires energy chargers and the car stereo, plenty enough power with it. Also.. all of the cables also lay behind the screen.

Disclaimer: My desk is actually more cleaner...

Where can I get this beezel protectors. I want to cover 2 monitors and CPU getting dusted.

That's why is just a bit..., I only have to detach the usb hub in order to take the whole laptop, no cable mess (of course network cable and ace adapter too, but that's as far as it goes).

Didn't see this one, but thing is, those bezel protectors came with the TV, from factory, I just didn't remove them because vents were already uncovered.

Hi, I just finished my new computer desk and thought you might be interested. I have been lurking on the boards for a while but decided to register to show off my new toy.

How do you find the R.A.T? I bought it but it does my head in, the cursor is so damn crazy just moves on its own. Picky about surfaces and generally just wasted so much time on it just to get a mouse to work normally. I got the 7.

My RAT 5 works fine, it has problems with dark surfaces, but since I have it on a wooden one there is no problem. I have it connected to an USB 3.0 hub (USPeed 7 ports) and no problem with moving on its own, I however had a LACIE 4 ports usb 3.0 hub, each time that I removed a peripheral the mouse would act on its own, I think it's because the mouse de-synchronizes itself when a conflict occurs on another ports of the hubs, however it recovers more or less after a minute.
