I saw the XFX stand at Texas GamExperience 2011. I was reasonably surprised on the build quality. Didn't expect XFX to make a good VESA stand.

Yes.Seems to be quality product...only problem so far is setting monitors height(all 3 at once)...those things are quite heavy.

I've joined the club

Monitors - 3 ASUS VG236H
Resolution 5760 x 1080
Monitor stand - Ergotronics triple monitor





Wait... do you have a better pic of how the side displays mounted?

I'll try and get a few pictures of the back tomorrow, if not then Monday for sure. I'm not at home at the moment.

Got the screen setup again finally in the basement. Not had it setup at home since December. It was still in a shipping crate from CES 2011 untill a few weeks ago. Finally got it out again for Blacktop Nationals 2011 last month and now in the basement again. Nu-Tek had nowhere to store the F-35 simpit, so I said I'd "store" it in front of the screen in my basement. hehe
 
I'll be able to play around with 3D Vision kit this weekend on the setup. It's currently on my other computer and I need to put it on the projection one for some fun S3D action.

What is the FPS with this setup in the games you play? ANd what settings do you find in game to perform to your liking?

Dude you are so lucky. They lend or borrow you the simpit?  Man, those are the perks on having the set up you have.
Haterades on me boys, open bar for those that want it  j/k
Your set up takes almost the entire basement space of your house with the simpit in it.  Thanks again for posting the pic and the response on the 6 foot desk
 

Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

I can run most games at max settings with 4xAA. I usually get 80-100 fps depends on the game.The only game I have to tone it down is witcher 2. Most everything else plays great.

I can't partake anymore because of my job, so I tend to notice those things. I'm still haunted by the wonderful aroma at the Santana concert a few weeks ago.
 
Nice setup BTW !

Did another convention booth yesterday. It's dual-projector and it won Best Technology Booth for the expo. It would be cool if EVGA would do a booth with me in the future.
 
I used my EVGA E762 i7 930 system with an AMD Eyefinity 5870 E6 card and two Optoma GT720 projectors.

Congratz Brad_Hawthorne  Just looking by the pics, the front console of the cockpit looks amazing.

BR worthy!

I'm thinking the same as you man.
 
I've got 3 480's which just rips anything a new one, until I try to play in 5760x1080 with some antialiasing. Even games like BFBC2 can fill up 1.5gb VRAM pretty quick when you jack up some settings and play on 3 screens.

Ya, vram is the fps killer for surround. It amases me with how the ram market has bottom out, that video card manufacturers aren't slapping in double capacity of ram on the boards right now by default. In my eyes they're just cheaping out.
 
I just uploaded a new YouTube video. Here is a bit of random flight on the setup in my previous post.
