Does anybody remember that one guy that was running like 9-12 monitors?? I'm trying to find him again, I can't remember what his username was!!!!

That sounds badass!

I have some new speakers, Cambridge Audio S70. They replace the Mordaunt-Short Avant 914i (now for sale) as I wanted something with a better match to my setup and slimmer cabinets:

What's the media center case you're using?

I bought the computer when gateway was selling it at futureshop here in Canada before they pulled out.

The model is the SX2311. Its a small form factor case. One of the better i've used.

Has a quality build.

Think I had paid $230 for it at the time.

Is it possible that you mean Stefan Didak? Not sure if he was a user here in neowin, but your description fits his office.

my god....... what does he do?

Not certain as to what that guy does, but when I worked in Ergonomics, I would have everything from Day Traders to Security to Your average person ordering monitor mounts to hold their massive amounts of monitors. I had a discussion with a day trader which told me that he would run several screens just to hold the financial data and charts/graphs etc which would always need to be displayed. The others were for his monitoring of the news, and software he would use to process the trades.

    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Nas · Posted

      Absolutely NOBODY has suggested such a conclusion. I am affirming the sober reality check that AV2's overall market adoption will take longer than AV1's adoption rate -- which, by the way, is the whole point of the article! While PCI-SIG is productive (on paper), other WGs have created all sorts of confusing progress plans that consumers have tuned-out of their improvements... HTML/W3C, USB, HDMI, BT, WIFI (ieee802.11) as a few other groups where spec naming conventions, split progress paths, overlapping ambitions... I'm not critiquing the AV specs group; I'm simply affirming that adoption for AV2 faces headwinds beyond the macroeconomics of it all.
