No special mods, I did buy the side flow fan for my CoolerMaster Stacker. Its a great case, loads of room to work in and good air flow. The only bad thing I can say about my case is that it has 2 rivets that cut into my DVI connectors (I have my graphics card in my top rear slot).
Very cool I'd do it except I don't even have 1 good monitor (just an old junker), I take it you disable one for games though right?
I still have the non-gaming monitor activated, just nothing running on it, with it turned off I don't really see any performance increase in games (plus I only play Enemy Territory )
very cool dude but wouldn't things look a little odd if you played games on both, I mean having a screen that wide might be a bit weird but then again I've never played on dual screen.
I've not tried actually, I've always had my screen set at 'Dual View' which is essentially 2 separate screens (one you set as primary monitor and games and full screen apps run on that, other apps can be moved across easily) There's another option called 'Span' which essentially turns both screens into one big one, I may try that. (Then there's single screen, where one screen just isn't used, clone which is same thing on both screens)
[ot] Using span didn't work, it just shut off one monitor and played the game on the other, dang... It would be weird though, having the crosshair in the gap... [/ot]
I use Dual View but with my moitor conencted to my tv so i can play a DVD on my pc, have it payng on my tv but I can use my pc at the same time
Yes, I use ultramon to stretch a dual wallpaper over both monitors. You could play a game over two monitors, you have to set it up in the game shortcut. I play the game on my primary monitor and have my secong monitor displaying Messenger, teamspeak, temp monitoring progs etc... Having the second monitor has no effect on gaming performance, I have bechmarked with and without.
[ot]so if you have 2 monitors, you can still use 1 monitor to play game on, and on the other whilst in the game control messenger and stuff on the other monitor? [/ot]
[ot]OMG, so i dont even need to minimize the game? Wow, all the time i have 3 monitors and one spare [/ot]
