Dirt 2 replay video. Wish the game would let me take stills but whatever.
All I gotta be is less lazy and install my roomie PS3 logitech wheel.

The game still updates billboards...I'm being bombarded alternatively by Wendy's or BK heh.

I had the pleasure of seeing this setup yesterday. Its insane.

The obsidian 800D is much bigger than I had thought as well. It would make a HAF932 look small in comparison. An average person could curl up in a ball and fit in that thing.

Eyefinity is amazing. Looks awesome on a couple 24's and a 27'.

Anyone wanting to do eyefinity won't be dissapointed. The field of view is truely sick lol

Cool setup.I finally have my 3 monitors.25.5,24 and a 24.All their resolutions are 1920 x 1200.
I have been reading on different adapters and issuses with them.
Some say the HP DisplayPort To VGA Adapter(AS615AA) will work at this resolotion @ 34.00.
I`ve read on the dell active dp to dvi adapter...some say it works,but with a flickering issue.
Have you noticed any flickering Steve-O?
I`m assuming you bought this one:

Yeah I got that one. You may get flicker, you may not, all depends on the adapter. It's really your only choices as the accel one is a lot harder to get.

If you order one from Dell let me know, cuz I got more info for ya about it.

Thanks...im really leaning towards the hp,but i like to get one of the amd approved accells adapters.Like you said really hard to find.
I have been reading some info about the flickering on amd`s eyefinity support page.
Did you use a single or dual link dvi cable?

All single link, never had a need since I dont' have (or will have) 30" monitors.

AMD's site is full of bitching, and rightly so, since they haven't been able to fix it for 9 months. http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=64 is the place ot look stuff up.

It's not as bad as you think it would.

Let me know how that works out for you. When i was oringlaly comping the color representation from VGA cables and DVI, the DVI solution was better.

At the time when I got my cable there wern't any VGA adapters that did (or claimed to do) 1920x1200. 1920x1080 was the max.

Adapter has arrived...no issues so far.
I have some monitor work to do..my 25.5 asus has a bluish tint compared to my 2-24" samsung`s.I have no option for bezel management due to the different edid screen sizes.I think i will try to trade my asus for a 24" samsung.
Here`s an outside of the car screenshot(still have to adjust fov):

Is the bluish one connected to the DP-VGA adapter?

Yeah, that's why I got everything hooked up with DVI, it may be a slightly hard pain in the arse, but all the whites are still white.
