Trying to turn my machine into a great driving simulator. Just added a new Radeon HD 5850 graphics card that drives 3 monitors. The card is Crossfire ready and capable of driving up to 6 monitors but I think I'll pass on that, at least for the time being... going to be tough finding desktop space for just 3. Still waiting for two more Dell P2310H monitors to come in (lowest cost monitor with Displayport input). All I need is a Logitech Momo driving controller set and I'll be good to go. System was acting flakey and taking 10 minutes to boot up and would lose track of the boot order so I picked up 2 Western Digital Black 1TB hard drives and did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional. Yanked out the other hard drives, transferred needed data to the second new drive via a Thermaltake BlacX SE external SATA drive cradle. All I need now is Comcast to come and fix the internet connection so I can complete the install and upgrades.
So... here are the specs to my box:
