Great build, looks like everything was pretty smooth sailing. How'd you like those Megahalems fan pins. At least the mounting wasn't too bad.

Anyways, enjoy and great job.

Great looking build , what game is that on the three monitors and what settings did you use in Nvidia control panel, I thopught only AMD would span three monitors lioke that or is it game specific.

nVidia also has mutimonitor technology called Surround. It requires SLI (except on special cards) and supports a maximum of 3 monitors in both Surround, and nVidia 3D assuming you have the proper 120hz monitors and the massive gpu power to push it.

I don't have the 120hz monitors just two regular 60hz but I do have three GTX 580's.

Surround by itself is a pretty nice setup. I'm not positive on the limitations of Surround vs Eyefinity but I want to say Surround only supports landscape mode, which is more than likely the more popular setup of the two. Personally I've been happy with my current 3150x1680 ips portrait setup but the 5870 is without a doubt showing it's age.

I can only imagine how great a 3x setup would be in tri-SLI.
