So ever since I had my first dual monitor setup (the early 2000s), I always wanted to have a setup like this. For the longest time I'd buy old LCD monitors on the cheap, fix them up or whatever, but I never really had the right combination of monitors to pull off something quite like this...
So, queue getting a new job that pays quite a bit more, donating all of my old monitors and buying 8x 24" HP Monitors, 2x 25" LG Ultra Wide Monitors, and 1x 29" Samsung Ultra Wide Curved Display. Granted, there are other things I'd like to do with this, but this is plenty good for many years to come...

New Custom Built PC w/ Windows 10 Enterprise (Samsung in the middle and the two vertical LGs to the sides)
New Budget Build PC w/ Windows 10 Home (Left HP Cluster, Bottom Right Display)
Old Custom Built PC w/ Windows 7 Ultimate (Left HP Cluster, Bottom Left Display)
PS3 (Left HP Cluster, Top Right Display)
Xbox 360 (Left HP Cluster, Top Left Display)
Acer Gaming Laptop w/ Windows 10 Home (Right HP Cluster, Bottom Left Display)
Asus Gaming Laptop w/ Windows 7 Home (Right HP Cluster, Top Left Display)
HP Multimedia Laptop w/ Windows 7 Home (Right HP Cluster, Top Left and Top Right Display)
At some point I'd like to get all of my consoles hooked up to an HDMI Switch so that I can toggle the inputs to the top two monitors on the left cluster, but that's a little ways down the road.
Hope you all enjoyed looking at this just as much as I enjoyed putting it together :)

My current dream is to hook up my whole house into some sort of system where i can just move to any room i want in the house and watch whatever or use whatever, i have a neat little bluetooth keyboard with a trackpad, would be neat to just pick it up, walk down to the living room, start using my pc on the tv, or be at my pc and start using the console downstairs, or some crazy thing like that! also roku, would love to access that wherever i am.
Well, I program for a living so I like being able to program with the vertical screens, I also like having several chat programs open at once, Steam, a game or two, etc. It definitely isn't a setup for everyone :O I'll give yo uthat.
Thanks for the comment just the same :)

Oh, I think you know I'm a fairly serious gamer :) It's been awhile since we played games though.
I just built a new machine with a Skylake i7, 2x GTX 960 4GB, 32GB DDR4 RAM, among other things. Dropped two 250GB M.2 SSDs in there too. The thing is blazingly fast :)

I need to save up a little if i want to upgrade my computer with some mega graphics. It only has one slot for a graphics card but i'm aware of some mega powerful cards such as one that was in the window of CEX recently for £440 which was an MSI Geforce GTX 980 Ti 6GB.
My PC is powered by an i5 but its fairly powerful. i5-6600K at 3.5GHz but with the Turbo Boost can go up to 3.9GHz which makes it nearly as powerful as most i7 that were in all the over gaming computers i looked at. The ones I compared it with only had a 0.1GHz difference in the turbo boost.
Here, this is the exact computer i bought but the Radeon card was replaced http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/compu.....38706-pdt.html

Oh know I know you were, I just thought to mention the photo isn't an accurate representation anymore. On the topic of your 47" (sad to hear it's gone), I think the next time I do something like this it'll be fewer monitors, but larger ones. I've heard of one that is already out in fact that is so large it has individual inputs for each quarter of the screen, so you can hook it up to multiple machines or just use it as one big display. Pretty fancy (and expensive).
