Yes, All 3 of these monitors are the same and have 2 DVI, 1HDMI, and 1 DP port on them.
Thermaltake 750W I believe
The system has been fine since I built in back in March |

Not sure how much you want to spend but the Dell 2709W is a very nice monitor and is 27" 1920x1200.
I have 3 of these monitors currently in eyefinity mode and they look great.

Since the middle monitor uses the display port and I have the extra DVI cable, what about just buying a DVI female/female adapter and diasy chain the 2 cables. Or would the single 6' be fine.

| So I will be building my new PC tonight and last night I set my 3 monitors up on my new desk. I got an executive desk so my PC will be on the right side of it and the DVI cable from the left monitor does not reach that far. If I get a 6' cable will I lose anything with the extra length or is it fine... |

| Mainly the triple screen will help with when I work from home. I VPN to work on one monitor. I have Visual Studio open on another and I RDP into another system. I understand it was a lot of money.

My son is the one who plays Rogue Warrior.
I mainly play Dragon Age Origins and COD:MW2
I've not found VS 2008 sluggish on my current system. I would keep my system but I'm thinking the CPU would definitely bottleneck the 5970. |

How is the NEC MultiSync EA261WM-BK - LCD display - TFT - 26"? or the ASUS VW266H Black 25.5" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen LCD? I know both these would require a DP-DVI convertor. My current ... |

What do you mean by this exactly:
Remember that with Eyefinity you can't drop to something like 3x1920x1080, so you better get CrossFire or be happy turning settings down in some areas. |

I looked on Dell's website and didn't find any u2711.
The only 27" is the u2709W listed on their website |
