I like to put these here as a record of how my room's changed over the years, but you guys might like seeing 'em too - Just got a bunch of new displays in, and a mount for 'em. This thing finally looks how I always wanted it to!

Thankyou! I'm running 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 and a watercooled i5 4690 on a Gigabyte z87X-UD5H, with two R9 280Xs in Crossfire, an SSD for the OS, 2TB of file storage internally and a dedicated 5TB server for backups and media to the right :D The top TV is connected through VGA to the motherboard's integrated graphics (since it's only for movies and can handle 1080p), and two of the bottom ones connect with DVI-HDMI cables, with the third needing an active displayport to HDMI adaptor to work :>
You could get a DisplayPort splitter and then a second DP to HDMI adapter for the thing on top, thus removing any noise from using VGA (VGA is analog, so there will be noise). You can connect up to 4 1080p monitors on a single DisplayPort port

No problem!
Another suggestion I have is consider buying Display Fusion. http://store.steampowered.com/app/227260/
Yes, it's $30, but it goes down to $10 or less every other month or so and the functionality it gives is super worth it.
Things I love about it
Being able to have different wallpapers on each monitor, all rotating between images at different, customizable times. I can (and do) set my screen saver up like that too.
Having taskbars on each monitor for the windows on that monitor (super useful).
The ability to allow the mouse wheel scroll windows under the mouse that are not in focus.
The ability to enable/disable Aero Shake (shake a window to minimize all other windows, shake again to unminimize the other windows).
Window snapping (like how steam windows can snap to each other, sorta buggy).
And a bunch of other stuff!

Well Span, for example - I have a screen above the bottom three, and when I tell DF to span a perfectly-sized triple-1080 wallpaper, I can't exclude the top display. It stretches the image up to the top of that one which means I get massive clipping; I'd have to actually chop the image up individually and put each section on its own display individually to make it work. That said, the ability to modify the screens individually is appreciated sometimes :>
I was screwing around with it earlier; it seems to have broken entirely. x) Span now puts images on the wrong displays, so it's all cobbled around; I made myself a template in Photoshop that I can snap images into now, anyway, which lets me match it to each monitor. Thankyou for the suggestion though :D
I've thought about that myself, but I worry about it damaging the switch. I don't have any keys I could test it on without fear of losing the key as I use every key, even Pause Break and Scroll Lock (the latter of which I have set up to switch where audio outputs, via DF of course :P).
I'd rather not be too specific on here, but the screens were about £200 each (the big one and the small ones), the PC was just under a grand and there's other stuff like the Corsair K70 and my home cinema audio system that added a fair bit. Something in the region of £2000+ over a number of years :>
I certainly don't have that much money - I just graduated University without a job! I suppose the difference is I focus my spare income on this thing instead of going out and getting drunk or buying fancy meals or anything. It looks like the setup of a rich man, but it's not x)
Words fail to properly explain the levels of ENVY I feel... All I have is an Alienware Alpha i3 with 16gb of Crucial laptop RAM, a GTX 780 equivalent and a 1TB hybrid drive. I can't swap out the GPU since it's part of the motherboard
My peripherals are good, though. I have a Razer Tarantula that I got from a Goodwill (which works perfectly), a Razer Naga Hex (I would prefer the standard Naga, though) that I got a couple years back, a Hanns-G HE225 with a DVI to HDMI adapter, a pair of folding Plantronics headphones, a Logitech Webcam, and a good ol' 360 controller. I got all this over time, just sayin.
Also, I don't understand what's so special about mechanical keyboards.

Hey, that's still a pretty damn beefy laptop!
And if that's the case you might not have used a good mechanical keyboard x) My K70 is so, so much more satisfying to type on than any mushy rubber dome keyboard. You get actual clicky tactile feedback when you press instead of a vague 'thump'... And you sound a bit like a hacker when you type. :D

It's actually a tiny-ass desktop pc. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/gvXkP2zfysw/hqdefault.jpg
I've never typed on a mechanical keyboard, mainly because I refuse to spend over 50 USD on a keyboard. I've screwed around with one in walmart, but I don't get the appeal. Plus the clicking would get annoying really fast.
