What are both computers used for? Is that really 10TB storage in the 600T? Media/Server PC maybe?
Looks amazing though. What's your personal review of the GTX780? How much did you pay?

Thank you, its mostly for 3 screen gaming but it is also very useful for video editing. It's easy to find uses for all three once you start using them for awhile.
Thanks, one is my main gaming rig and the other is a gaming/media setup. When I have friends over they can jump on their steam account and we can both play full screen 1080p without issue. As you can see it also has quite a bit of storage to hold the terebytes of bluray's I have.
So far the GTX780 has been working really well in triple screen. It's not getting crazy fps but staying decently in the 40-50fps range for most titles with mid to high graphics. A second card is really needed though to get the most out of three screens.
I might post some scores (graphics &cpu) soon with the current setup to compare to the new one.
3 360's actually to play Forza 4! I was looking at getting a Fanetec wheel but put that on the back burner for now. I use a stock Microsoft wheel which does ok. Also my friends come over and bring their COD so we can have 3 people on live going against others at the same time. It's sometimes pretty cheap because each screen is easily viewable by the others. lol

Yes. Triple monitor are very useful for gaming. It is much easily to target your gun in game than dual monitor.

Dang man! I agree triple monitors is awesome for gaming but, I don't do any of that anymore. I use to basically just do racing sim's and GTA but, that's about it. I am more of the average user now days. I would love to get back into the racing sims and get a good setup going but, at my age (22), I have other priorities right now. Mainly paying some debt off, getting my car in tip top shape then some, and saving up. My car has really been my major hobby for some time now. I am more into wrenching on cars, customizing, etc than I am computers anymore so, my pc hasn't seen much attention in a while.
However I would love a new psu, case, and gpu so, I could get back into some gaming but, I just can't justify the cost right now. I'd rather dump it into my car to make it faster. lol
I've done triple screen eyefinity and it lasted about an hour. For some games, such as maybe some driving games or RPG's, it would be great. But for FPS games, I found myself only looking at the middle screen anyway. But I like to play very fast paced multiplayer FPS's though.
So instead of a triple screen setup I just went with a 2560x1440 res monitor and it worked a lot better for me.

When the three screens are 46" big, you get a much more immersive experience. It's literally almost all of your peripheral sight when played at the right distance away. Sometimes fast scenes give me a disorienting effect because it feels like you are spinning yourself.
It's always hard to find time to balance funds. We live in an age where there is so much crazy tech thats it's easy to get carried away. I have to watch myself because I have a headphone addiction. It's over 20 pairs at the moment and growing.
Don't worry there will be time for all the toys

Such amazing cable management and IDE disc drives are awesome! 
By the way, by connecting that hard drive to the same IDE channel/cable as that disc drive, you are slowing one of them down. I can't remember which you are slowing down (hard drive I think) but it's best to use individual cables for hard drives and disc drives.

Hopefuly for a month or less I will finish my NEW setup.And it will not be JUST a computer,but an entire working environment.
So once I finish that,I will show it to you guys.And it will be a video with music instead of just pictures.

Someday I will be willing and able to spend the cash on a triple monitor/screen setup. Not worth it to me currently. I have my priorities set and getting them taken care of first.
But, what a nice setup though, for sure! :good:
My next upgrade will likely be an SSD. It may be a while but, by then they will be cheap enough/large enough for me to justify the upgrade. Then a PSU and GPU. It may be a while but, I am in no hurry at all. I still have the cockpit for my racing sim and would love to get another steering wheel setup. But, by that time there will likely be something better than the current g25/27. That or I will make my own custom setup like many other pieced together setups around.

Thanks sir.
SSD is a big performance upgrade. Night and day difference in most computers. They are getting to the <$1 per gb mark where they are really worth it.
When you are ready for a new setup you should check out Fanatec. They make some of the best rigs around.

Will your new setup still be running Windows XP?
2 main computers will still run Windows XP,but other 2 will run ANY Windows operating system according to application testing needs.Sometimes it will be Windows 98,sometimes Windows 8,sometimes Windows Vista,sometimes Windows 7 and so on...depending on which operating systems I will test my software before selling it.
But anyway...OS will not be the main thing lol.That's just the software.I am actually updating my entire working environment (software,hardware,room area,lights and so on...) by turning it into a main room of the main data complex center called UAC which stands for the User Access Commands.It's a small room which is actually going to be a MAIN room for monitoring all the activities in the UAC data complex center.It will look pretty cool.I have already finished the left side of the room AND the ceiling too.From tomorrow I am starting to work on the right side of the room which should not take me more than a week.And finally after that I must make a new data device which is going to hold ALL the data I EVER HAD,CURRENTLY HAVE AND WILL HAVE IN THE FUTURE.It will be called "UAC data device".
To make the long story short,there are 3 stages I must finish including the stage 4:
STAGE 1: Order and pay for all the neccessary parts and after that wait for them to arrive and also COMPLETELY clean the entire room working environment. - THIS STAGE IS 100% FINISHED
STAGE 2: Clean and fix some of the devices if needed and after that put them on the right places in the room working environment (left,right and ceiling) and then connect them all properly so they can work. - THIS STAGE IS 70% FINISHED AND SHOULD BE 100% FINISHED IN THE NEXT 2 WEEKS IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL
STAGE 3: Install all neccessary operating systems and programs and also update both HDD clone data and then put them on the UAC data device together with ALL other data. - THIS STAGE IS 0% FINISHED SINCE STAGE 2 IS STILL NOT 100% FINISHED.BUT THIS LAST STAGE 3 SHOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN A WEEK TO FINISH SINCE IT IS ONLY A SIMPLE SOFTWARE WORK/MAINTENANCE.
STAGE 4: This is not really a stage since all the work is finished in stage 3.This stage 4 is simply a pure fun and me using my main UAC data complex center working environment. - THIS IS WHEN I WILL MAKE A NICE MUSIC VIDEO OF THE MAIN UAC DATA COMPLEX CENTER WORKING ENVIRONMENT AND SHOW IT TO YOU

I have looked at fanatec before and they do make quality stuff but, just not worth it to me. Even if I do get back into race sims. I'd rather purchase a logitech and customize it. I have seen some quiet sick setups when I was into it before but, I am just not willing to go that far. Like I said I am more into my car rather than games. But, someday (maybe 10yrs from now
) I will have a nice setup.
