Well, like I say ... I used to use dual screen but I find it an unimportant thing. Everyone is different tho :)

I must say tho ... that dual screen gaming thing looks stupid. Wouldn't you have a big fat bar down the center of your screen where your gun is aimed in Half Life 2? :D

I wouldn't ever dual screen game. Unless the game is like Supreme Commander as that game is designed for dual monitors and handles it beautifully. Pretty much all other genres work better with just 1 or 3 monitors but not an even amount.

Dual screen gaming might be good for RPGs though.... never tried yet. Having the inventory, most of the HUD, and spell binds/icons on the second screen leaves more room for immersion on the main screen.

i don't have the desk space for two monitors(well if i want to put my feet up) i find my 1080p ~24" monitor has enough screen retail without getting cluttered until i open lots of windows or have wmp window open. otherwise i do alot of minimizing. i usually don't have too many windows open though, and switching between windows on win7 is pretty fast and easy.

usually i only have wlm and firefox open, and then mumble later in the day, but by then i'm gaming fullscreen, and the way wow alt tabs it doesn't matter anyway.

no alot of rpg's support strectching across multiple clients well. you can do it, but it's tricky to the point of being a PITA. and gaming with only two monitors is awful because your reticle or w/e is split between two monitors= idk how bad it would be. you really need 3 monitors at least for multi monitor gaming.

most of the people i've talked to with two monitors and gaming usually put irc/wlm/music player/a movie or show/browser on the second monitor. for example a quest guide for wow.

personally i find it faster and easier to just alt tab for these things and i 'm not interested in watching video while i game.

i think mutli monitor set up is most optimally used when you want to have alot of windows open and be able to read the info on them at a glance. not so much if you have to move your mouse constantly across that huge desktop. i think i'd need a very high sensitivity or risk wrist strain. as it is with 1080p it takes slightly more than a smal gesture to move from one end of my desktop to the other.

I use a Logitech marble mouse. I love it, saves me tons of strain and needs less space. I have high sensitivity on mine. Works very good for photoshop!

I once had to use a quest guide thing for another MMO and I used a laptop for the quest guide LOL. That was when I only had my 19 inch LG (that's my second scren now) as my monitor. LOL. The quest was hard as hell in that game! (Tibia)

I wish... IT Manager for an automotive dealer group. It's a job where you're a jack of all trades attempting to be the master of all those trades. I manage the phone system (ancient avaya box), 8 Servers (7 winos, 1 Linux), handle the tape based backups, and i'm a pc support desk person. All those at the same time, plus whatever else management wants to add to the list. I'm told i'm invaluable, but based on my paychecks my value is about $13.00 an hour. haha.

Sounds like my job (in fact it is my job).

Btw... don't hate on the Avaya Definity systems... 1300+ user support, IP & Point-to-Point capable, PRI Capable... the only thing that sucks is Audix.

I'm going to take a guess and say that one linux server you've got is either ADP or an ERA server?

lovely desk .. details?

I was quite relieved about the space this desk offered when we got it. They must have had a huge laptop on that photo.

I used to have a Makael desk from Ikea but it sorta made the living room look like an office. It was too big really too. that's why we got the new desk.

Dual screens are awesome. It totally is a bonus! - I use two 2560x1600 screens for Coding and Media work in general.

Nice set up!!! Where did you get that Wallpaper from and what kind of speakers are they?
