What does your desktop look like?

I don't think that I was really kidding around here. It's just I've never had that much experience, to be totally honest, no experience at all when it comes to running three monitors at once. So at times when I see someone with a screenshot as decked out and massive as yours, the first thing that comes to my mind, because one and two monitor setup's is all I know, is "wow, way big monitor there"!

But I'm impressed, maybe after I save up my money, which will be a long time coming, for I'm about ready to dump a lot of it in a move, maybe then I can build myself a system and deck it out with triple monitor SLi support.

I like your lightning thing you have going on there, always been a big fan of lightning!

Its one of the many loading screens for the game dota, a warcraft 3 user created custom map. I would not be the least bit surprised if there is a book worth of lore behind dota.

It's been a little while, but recently I created myself a new desktop look. Nothing to fancy, kind of on the dark side of the color realm, blacks, dark purples ect. ect.

Here take a look......


Resized for the forums to 800 x 600, truly it's 1280 x 1024!

This new desktop works very well for me during those late night hours, almost no annoying monitor glare at all. Also there's something new now in regards to my created desktop looks, I'm pretty much just now using my own editorially created wallpapers. The one of Ashley Scott here is one of many of my editorial creations.

Well that's about it from me, hope you all like this one, I sure do!

To be honest Leeky, Within the past 4 weeks of my forum absence, I'm slowly gravitating away from strictly sexy female desktops, I've started investigating and trying landscape desktops as well. Now I haven't had the time due to being in the process of my move, which is almost done, but I haven't had the time to create a landscape desktop creation, worthy of posting it's image. But give me some time, like a couple weeks or so, after the dust settles from my current chaos, I'll create one and see what you think!

Have had http://www.flickr.com/photos/d3sign/6078752561/sizes/l/in/set-72157624293252042/ set as my background for a while at work. But most of the time I go for just plain black, extreme minimalism.

One of my other flickr favs is my current backdrop

IF you have WOT installed, simply type her name into a google search & click on images.Mouse over the images till you find one you want. Mouse over it & it'll pop up a bit bigger & on the right side it might say

The words "Full size image" might be a link. If it says same size,it is. Right click,save to your My Pictures folder where you can go to set it as your desk top picture. Enjoy.

Might I ask who she is? TIA

Thanks.

Well within the past couple months, I guess I got into the "signs of the times" and stepped up a little and purchased a second monitor, and am now enjoying the wonderful world of dual monitors.

This is my current setup........



I'm really liking using dual monitors, work on one screen, play on the other, all at the same time!

Enjoy!

I know what you mean my friend, I've been wondering for the past couple months, how I got along with just one monitor all these many years. I know I'm just kind of pissing in the wind here by stating already known facts, but I love how I can move a download window to one monitor, keep an eye on it and browse the web on the main monitor. Or watch my web radio players GUI on one screen, while typing an e-mail on Outlook on another! If this whole dual monitor thing pans out for me, which I am totally suspecting it will. I might do a little research as to how and make my computer support 3 monitors. But for now Leeky, I'm fine with two, I promise you, there are no quick runs to Best Buy in my immediate future!

Well I think one thing that for the moment is saving my wallet from getting a good work out is the fact, that I've just learned that my current video card will not support 3 monitors. It's only got one DVI port off the back of it, and my friend who runs 3 told me that I need a minimum of two DVI ports to run 3.

And my same friend when asked about the "productivity" that might be achieved by running 3, he was bold faced honest with me. He told me that when he made the choice to go triple, he did so more so out of vanity and to feed his super macho ego! He might be feeding his overinflated ego, but his current setup is to die for, 3 matching Dell slimline 24 inch High Def monitors, the glowing dark red keyboard, matching dark red glowing mouse, all the dark red LED cooling solutions and even going as far as taking a dark red colored bicycle reflective tape and neatly covering any exposed wires with the tape to match the color theme. Don't know how it works, but his speakers illuminate red as well?!?

So now I need to do a little research on a good decent dual DVI port video card, run the primary monitor off port #1 and use my DVI splitter cable for monitors #2 and #3. But for the moment I'm getting along, might be some time before I dive into this, but I'm not going to be dishonest with you Leeky, three matching Envision 22 inch monitors would look all so good..............."I'm so tempted to feed my ego"!

In regards to your question as to what my video solution is, it's is a older Nvidia Quadro NVS 285, 128 MB's, with DDR2 RAM, RAMDAC is Dual 350 MHz (integrated).....better yet let me let you look at the thing.....

Amazon is where I got it about 10 months back, might as well show it's picture from there!

So that's the image....

Now the technical spec's......


So as you can see by the image of my identical card, only one DVI port, might have to research and see of a DVI three way splitter might work, doubt it, but it may be worth a look.

Could I go triple? Let me know what you think!


Update Edit......

Just realized where the tech spec's say monitor support, it only supports two.
Maybe I could wing three but looks like that would be a "no go"! Crap!
I guess I'm looking for a new card then!
