How about the backs? Can they go on the back and not make the bezels any bigger?
hmmmm.. the back part of the case comes out just as far as the front, see this pic:


However, it does seem possible that having them seating in just the rear casing would allow enough room... Thinking about it ...

How to mount a stripped-down LCD (Asus VW246H) ?

So I've got these 3 great Asus 24" monitors - VW246H.

I took one apart to see what it looked like and brainstorm options for mounting it. It seems the VESA mounting is built into the outer shell, not the panel housing itself.

Re: Rec'd CPU and GPU, Eve Online 19x12 x 3?

That is a LOT of pixels for any one card, but Eve is an old game, so you could probably pull off reasonably good FPS with a 6970 or GTX 570. Whatever card you get, make sure it has at least 2gb memory if you're running that resolution.

is the ergotech monitor stand that is advertised here on ...

Re: Best monitor for gaming? ($300]

Here's a review of the Dell U2311 that I find to be pretty accurate, having owned one myself:

"This is a very good monitor. Especially if you can get it for $250 or less. A great bargain for a 23" IPS widescreen LCD monitor. But it's not without some problems & shortcomings though. There are ...

Re: Just got 100-D16-B03-TW.....what next?

i'll put up with either reduced resolution or detail in the meantime. I've seen some pretty compelling videos of people running single cards.

Cool - I'd be interested to see what kind of FPS #s you can pull off running at full resolution, as I'm going to be running a 1-card 3-monitor setup myself.

Re: Something that always bothered me: real 16:9?


I ask that to know what resolution would fit perfectly on a 16:9 pannel.

1600 x 900 would be the native resolution of a 16:9 panel

Re: Just got 100-D16-B03-TW.....what next?

Unless you're planning on getting a second 6950 and running a crossfire setup, you don't want to get 3 1920 x 1080 monitors. The card just isn't powerful enough to give you decent FPS at that resolution.

You're much better off picking up 3 19" monitors at 1440 x 900 or 1600 x 900 each.

Re: Best sub-$150 monitor for Eyefinity? Thinnest bezel?

I'm working on a list of bezel widths of sub-$200 monitors.

Here's what I've got so far:
NEC AS191WM 19" - $140 - bezel = 14.6mm or 0.57 inch
Acer V193WEJ 19" - $115 - bezel = 15.25mm or 0.6 inch
AOC 919Vwa 19" - $120 - bezel = 14mm or 0.55 inch

Re: Eyefinity Upgrade Help

I don't know what your best bet is, but I'd check to make sure your power supply can handle a 4th 5970 (that is a power hungry card!)

Best sub-$150 monitor for Eyefinity? Thinnest bezel?

I recently got myself a new HD 6950, and I'm shopping around for budget monitors to do a 3-monitor setup with.

I'm wondering if anyone has any useful info about the following monitors, especially bezel width:

Dell IN2020M - 1600 x 900 - $120
HP S2031 - 1600 x 900 - $110
