    That's hot stuff *tongue*

    Having two monitors doesn't help at all when gaming, but it helps with apps. When web designing, I can have dreamweaver open in code/preview mode on one monitor and then Photoshop CS open on the other monitor and use drag and drop, which is near impossible to use with only one monitor. Same for texture editing when using gmax + photoshop CS and when video editing with Adobe Premier + Photoshop CS. It really makes things a lot easier.

    I posted a bunch of old pics earlier, I just took pics of my setup right now (a few switched components since then)

    You should upgrade to a 500w or more. My 680w barely gets my SLi setup running.

    calculations show that i actually have plenty of breathing room, assuming my PSU has decent efficiency. Northwood cores don&#39;t consume as much power as more recent P4s and the X800 series doens&#39;t consume as much as the X850s nor the 6800s either. 500W is more than I would ever need, and I seriously doubt that any system, SLI or not, needs 680W. The vast majority of systems need <500W. Extra wattage is lost as heat or lowers efficiency. If anything, I&#39;d probably upgrade to a Thermaltake 480W PSU if i can spare the money in the future.

    They do and it is what I want to get for my next system but the monitor alone costs over &#036;15,000 :sick

    Total price last time I checked was well over &#036;50,000. My wife screamed so loud when she saw the quote the neighbors came running over as they thought I tried to kill her&#33; :blush :getlost
