Guy on one of the computer forums had this setup, but said it just wasn't doing it for him:





.....

.....

...so he added this stuff, and got a "nice" setup:

Setup includes dual 22" widescreen LCDs, 40" widescreen LCD, 3x 8800 GTX (superclocked)

Meh, this works for me...

After I move I'll definitely have a race wheel for car games and an arcade stand for my mame emulator.

I dont get why he has his CPU fan facing that way? It's sucking air in the opposite direction of the fans in the back of his case...

unless those rear fans are blowing air in...or maybe he has a CPU fan that looks exactly like mine but isn't the same...

What forum was this off of?

those fans all push air out. i have two of em like that with radiators... they push air through it to the outside. i have a suction in the front so it pulls air throught the case. god that monitor is godly. and u know i love ur setup max.

I'm 100% sure his CPU fan is sucking air away from the back two.

I have one exactly like it. All the forums I've checked show pics facing the way mine is too.

Unless it's not a Zalman 9500A

Edit:This diagram is straight from the manual.

Two monitors and a tv...

Yet no 5.1 surround sound? I like the hardware setup (just wish it wasn't in such a small hole in the wall), now he just needs to get some nice speakers and finish it off.

I may be the blacksheep, but I care more for audio than I do video.

That was my old setup. I'm still working on my new setup. School's slowed my speaker build process.

Looks like that guy has too much money and not much sense. CPU fan blowing the wrong way, horrible cooling being stuck in a corner, and I can't imagine looking straight up at a 40" screen being too comfortable.
