    The laptop on the left is a Clevo M570RU, hooked up to the Samsung 22" display in the middle via DVI, and running both it's internal display and the big screen as one big desktop. WoW is running in windowed/maximised mode on the centre screen. The left screen is for Ventrilo, Thottbot, Skype, e-mail, and porn.

    The machine on the right is a Sony VAIO C1Z/B, which has a TV card hooked up to cable television if there is nothing else going on. By running Synergy, I control both computers with one set of controls, and I can move my mouse across all 3 screens.

    Except for WoW, I approve. The world needs more giant robot games. A new mechwarrior would be sweet with a multi screen setup. The middle = ****pit, the left = map, the right = objectives, ally lists, maybe some other odds and ends.

    I wasn't serious.

    The machine on the *right* is the dedicated porn machine.

    Oh, wait...

    Right now I have a desktop with a 17" display and a 22" display. Its also hooked up to my hdtv, but i dont have the tuner card in my computer right now. (Waiting for the directv hdpc-20). Im moving another 19" monitor into my room for Tri-displays. My laptop is also in here somewhere... I hope....
