Again, as explained above... you don't use the computer's power supply to provide power to the 8 external monitors. Don't use the power calculator that way. It's the video card that is in question. Not the monitor. For 4 NVS 295 cards, you are plenty fine with 800W or 1000W power supply...

I had reviewed your config. Looks like you made a few different choices (e.g. Windows' edition and 1 more data hard disk). It looks good. Have fun! RE: I'm sure I can get my computer guy to add the four 295 cards pretty reasonably. Or, is this something I can do myself? Do you know...

RE: Power Supply In your list, you had already configured a 1000W power supply. (You bought the 800W but they threw in a free upgrade to 1000W. So you will have 1000W.) This is probably about as high as one can have. On my older HP box, it only used a 350W and had worked fine for 3...

Ha that's cool! Here LEAPup, your birthday present. (Minus singing) Total = $1281, that is with Windows 7 Ultimate and Office. If you have your own software, knock off $200 ==> $1081. 4 x PCIe x16 ready for 4 dual cards... 8 monitors i7-2600k processor 8 GB memory 500 GB hard disk...

Got a PM about how to set the screen resolution on the third monitor (driven by the USB-to-DVI adapter). Well, different gadgets use different driver software. Some would work with the Windows' own Display Manager and let you manage the addition monitor as if it is directly connected via the...

This sounds like what would fit perfect for LEAPup. (I want one too! :D ) But I couldn't locate the model number or the specs. Is there a link to this box?

Using this analogy... If the driver doesn't want to build the automobile, he really can't tell the automobile engineer to: Start with a Corvette Z06 body chassis And use a Volkswagen engine put in a Oldsmobile transmission a Hummers drivetrain and suspensions Firestone tires and...

Should be the "classified" sub-forum. Should state your seeking price too for each item.

Because you are hiring some Mr. TechGuy to put together a system for you, I think it is important to work with this individual on the detail parts list before you order anything. To make sure he will support that build. We can make suggestions to you. But the last thing we want to see is...

I think this is a bad approach. One should not start with a chassis and then order other parts to fit inside that chassis. I think one should start with: - The requirements, that determines what CPU chip, how many expansion slots needed. This is the key. - Then locate a motherboard that...

There are advantages of having 2 boxes, and downsides. The advantage is to have 100% redundancy. If one box goes out, you can trade from the other box with 50% of normal utility. The downside is having to maintain two identical environments. That includes license fees for the trading...

There are a couple of possible (need to trial-and-error) alternatives if you don't want an expensive motherboard (for >3 PCIe X16 slots) or an expensive quad/octo video card. 1. Mixing PCI and PCIe X16 video cards. It will work only if your video cards are compatible in that configuration...

2 video cards... the price of a brand new small sedan. Amazing indeed.

No... NY life is not for me. I wish you guys live in California! :D But I can settle with Florida.

I think we have visited that before. If you wait for a good deal from Dell Outlet to grab a T3500, the issue is still how to drive 8 monitors. T3500 only has 2 PCIe X16 slots. So you would need to get 2 quad cards or 1 octo card. If you go this route you need to price in the video cards.

Dang... I wish we live closer. Or else I will come by and roll up my sleeves... and get a Corona. LOL New York is just a tad too far.

Personally, I think a 24-inch monitor has maxed out the utility of a 1920x1080 resolution. I have more than a dozen of them. I already felt that the charts look kind of coarse for the space available. Any bigger size monitor (26, 28, 30) without providing a higher resolution is not cost...

I don't think so. The B708 Desktop Computer specs said it has 1 PCIe X16 slot total, but 0 available. Which means this box maker is already using the PCIe X16 slot for something. I am not sure what. The Intel BDH67BL H67-Express Motherboard seems to have one DVI video outlet on the...

It's a very good processor (i5, 2500k) and a good price. But same issue: Expansion Slots PCIe x16 Slots (Total) 1

Is that with or without the Corona? LOL :D Good job both doing the build as well as documenting it. I think there is certainly a sense of accomplishment for building your own PC. And in recent years this has been much easier. I have been building my own PC since the 80's. It used to...
