32 GBs of RAM, 4 hard drives, and two top end video cards?

You must be new to computers. Enjoy, anyway!

Yeah, but 8, 2 and 1 would have been a kick ass machine at half the price. :laugh:

Did you buy new monitors? If not, you probably could have taken the money saved from different GPUs and gotten 2 or 3 kick-ass IPS monitors. That's what I would have done, at least. :)

Ah ok. :pinch: I wouldn't have recommended that one since I've heard the color accuracy is terrible and the viewing angles are pretty bad too.
BENQ is one of those "meh" brands.

I would have gone with either of these instead:

http://www.amazon.co...ords=dell+u2711

Maybe next upgrade. :)

Ah really? I've heard it's quite a good monitor! We are talking about the XL2420T, right? Normally, I would agree with you, I would never touch a BenQ product! It's hard to argue with reviews, maybe a cult following for this monitor? Haha. I just wish you could see the monitor at a B&M store, rather than rely on reviews online. A monitor is like a TV or keyboard or mouse, you want to try it out and get a feel for it before you buy it!
