    You should have room, my desk had a line of CRTs on it at one point (22", 17", 15") - looked pretty awesome

    Glad you got it sorted. I'm only running 3 x 22" but need to find a new card to run them by mid December since I am giving my 4870 away to my nephew. . The search is on.

    That is such a nice setup. What res does the top monitor run at?

    I am redecorating my room next week and am in a fight between keeping a deep desk for the speakers/monitor config or being able to fit in a double bed. At the moment, the bed is winning with me losing the desk, and mounting a kitchen worktop between my two drawer units. Should take the desk depth down to 600mm but provide a lot more width for the setup. Just need to mount my centre speaker and move my two sides to outside the monitors.

    I wish I could get away with a sofa bed but want something comfortable as my main bed.

    What card are you running those three monitors from? I'm kinda waiting for the 6970 but need something before Christmas.
