AO my question is this. I already spoke to the customer support before I bought it and asked but not sure If The guy knew exactly what I wanted to do.. But here goes.

I Have 4 Tv's I want to set up running off this computer as my Monitors. I have 2 52 inch Tv's and another 2 32 inch Tv's.

How I will have this set up is I will have 1 52 inch tv in front of me with 1 32 inch tv on the left and right hand side of that TV... Then the other 52 inch TV will be wall Mounted above the other 52 inch TV..

At least this is what I have planed anyway. So my question is this. (and yes I am not a pro at this sorry). I have 3 Hard drives and what I think Is 2 graphics card x3?


2 x Video Card ( NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 - 3GB - 3-Way SLI Mode (Triple Cards) )?? I am assuming this means Jesus really I have no damn Idea what it means. I told the guy I wanted 3 graphics card or at least 4 HDMI outputs and enough power to support running them all with out My computer crashing or freezing up on me. So the above is what he placed in my cart on me and I bought this..

ANyone who knows computers please please tell me I have enough power and HDMI outputs to run the amount of TV's I want to run. With the graphics looking a least good and the computer not freezing or crashing on me. Also I would like it to be able to run all windows like fast as fuck too.


As it stands now I am running just the 2 52 inch tv's and my comp is always freezing on me. So Anyone who knows computers can you give me a hand and tell me if this is going to work with the Idea I have?

From what I gather macs or for kids who like to play around with photoshop, Listen to Brinty spears on Itunes and upload pics of them selves on face book all day..

What I need is a mans computer with power. I need to answers emails in one screen, Answer pm's in another, talk and IM on skype with another, and have a 4th open for everything else I am doing IE posting on forums, editing store back end, charging cards in Autherize.net, what ever it is I need to do..

All without crashing or freezing on me or even so much as slowing down.
 
This kiddy ass mac made you some badass shit

For example... :chomp:

Now that is a real computer bro.. And I don't know shit about computers lmaoo.. I just know for what I paid for it. This bitch better make the blocks lights flicker when I turn it on!!
 
I will post a pic of the whole set up once I have it in action and set up in my new office. Should be bad ass.. I am almost posative it will be able to support the 4 Tv's And then some if I wanted it to but figured some one here would be able to tell me for 100% . Guess I will find out Tomorrow when it gets here.

you got that one you were telling me about?

Almost man... I upgraded from the last one. Added the water cooling system and sound buffer as well as some kind of Professional Graphic HDMI wire set up... Friend Wilcox who I guess knows computers told Me I was going to want the water cooling system.. See I work some times 48 hours str8 so with that much power if I did not have the water cool system the computer would over heat. At least that is what he told me..

Then I got the pro HDMI set up on the graphics cards because most graphic cards only come with 1 HDMI output and then 2 DVI.. All my graphic cards ( I assume I have 6 but at least 3) will all have 2 HDMI outputs each..

Wilcox also said the system would be so loud I would not be able to think if I did not get the sound buffers so I got that too. Other then that yes I got the one I was showing you bro..

I wanted to wait Until after I dropped the 60 grand on the down payment for my new Office but This computer has froze on me so many times I am ready to through it out a window now. I NEED POWER DAMN IT!!!

Then I went and ordered the Extra Tv's on rush dilivery too. I went cheap on the tv's though. I got all Vizo's for the TV's but they get the job done.
 
as of the 600 series you can now use 2 displays per video card, take a look at the back of your tower and you will see the connectors, they will be white (dvi) or looking kinda like a usb port (hdmi) my question here is do you want to clone the image, extend the desktop or have something different on all 4 screens?
 
also SLI is when video cards work together, 3 way SLI means if you had 3 video cards they will work together to render ONE image, clearly you dont want this, hence your SLI needs to be OFF so you can use each VC for 2 displays instead of one display from all 3 cards, another thing is that the VC dont have much effects on your computer crashing the CPU/processor decides that but you have a good one so you're fine in that dept, VC make your PC crash only when playing hardcore video like crysis and such
 
there are also 3 important things I noticed, one is that you got TWO optical drives and they're not even blu ray so there was really no need for that, two is that they sold you FOUR hard drives and they are SSD which means the proabbly charged you up the ass for it and it was not necessary, a third thing is that those damn 4 hard drives are running as RAID 1 which means that one hard drive mirrors the other, so if you save important documents in one it makes a back up copy in the other, same applies for stupid shit like games and music so one hard drive really kinda goes to waste, if you have really important documents I'd understand, except for the fact that you already have a SECOND pair of hard drives doing the exact same thing, so again they made you pay up the ass for something unecessary and very expensive... Im guessing at least at least $3k in this rig right?

no. that rig cost him 5k +, the parts cost 2.5k alone minimum, and i'm guessing
 
LOL@3k. From the verbiage of the invoice I can tell they're mickey mousing for extra dough. Like:

"1 x iBUYPOWER Labs - Noise Reduction ( Advanced - iBUYPOWER Harmony SRS Sound Reduction System )

1 PowerDrive ( PowerDrive Level 3 - Up to 30% Overclocking )

1 x Advanced Build Options ( Professional wiring for all cables inside the system tower - Achieve exceptional airflow in your chassis )"

When I used to build custom computers I would put some exaggerations on the invoice but I can't think of whoppers like this--this is why I didn't make it as a computer geek.

Anyway it sounds like needto has plenty of money so it's no big deal.

Yeah, two GPUs, each should be able to drive at least two monitors. Each has 3GB of memory so I reckon they shouldn't have a problem running those 52 inchers at an appropriate resolution.

I did see the RAID 1 and think that's going to slow things down but nan pointed out they're SSDs. If I had that much money to play with I'd set up at least one drive letter to be running on a RAID 0 just for giggles but I have not used one of the new generation SSDs to know if that renders the performance issue moot.
 
noooooooooo Lumberg noooooooooooooooooo do not even mention the word Raid 0, still makes me shiver, nothing good ever comes out of binding hardware via software, the "speed" you'll gain is minimal and you are compromising your entire information in a stupid stinkin' raid 0

I'm in the market for a new commodore 64. My only concern is that it won't have enough power to play super breakout.

Everything you described is largely dominated by network speed -- not processor or graphics capability. You could easily do everything you described above on a $1,000 computer.

That machine you spec'ed sure looks like a gaming rig. What's your game?
