Finally got around to doing mine. Damn 3rd shift leaves me with precious little time to do anything I want. Now that the weekend's here, I don't feel to be in any rush at all.

My place is a 1-room w/kitchen and bathroom, so you'll understand why everything is grouped together. It works out though, as it is a wall of entertainment!

Ha ha, yeah... the g/f has 2 kids and her work schedule conflicts with mine a bit, so... you know. Gotta make do!

And yes, yes I do. Actually, I need to replace the left and right lcd on the desktop with the same one in the middle and get one of those nifty triple lcd stands. The one on the farrrrr left is technically my secondary monitor, as the main three are hooked to my matrox triplehead2go. Although, if I could (and I'm certainly insane enough to do it), I'd get 2 more 40" like the one I have and hook those to the T2G. I'm just not sure the resulting electric bill is something I'd want to deal with.

Do you like to have a full monitor dedicated to each application you're running? =D

I think that's two systems? 3 lcd's for each system?

There was a recent review of a 5 lcd setup on widescreengamingforums.com in a eyefinity setup and it had all 5 screens turned in portrait mode and..... it was beautiful. I shed a tear.

I think the crazy multi-mon setups are cool... but I always end up asking myself whyyyyyyy for home use.

At work I have 3 different systems, on 3 different networks, spanned across 4 monitors.  I have tons of Crap I need to monitor on a daily basis, so I can see having the setup that we do.  Now for home use, I cant justify anymore than 2... Crap right now I cant even justify 2 (matching monitor to mine is still in the high $300s), but that's just me.  So I have to ask the guys rockin more than two monitors; Is it really worth the extra money for the screen real estate?

I have two 28" LCD's  Pleanty of room for work and play at the same time, I have been thinking about a third for NV surround but 6 seems crazy.  What do you do with all of them?

Nope, dual 5970s. 

The screen bezels are the worst part. It isnt bad in landscape, but in portrait its much more annoying.

It's worth it when you game, but that's just me. The massive landscape is completely worth it. I don't do it all the time and not all games support it, but games that do are that much more beautiful. Or scary. Dead Space.

@Petch

It takes a while to get used to but I love my triple monitor setup. Playing BC2 in 5760x1080 is a pretty awesome experience. It really takes full advantage in racing games like Dirt or Need For Speed. I find myself using all 3 screens a lot. Minecraft on 1, iTunes and Teamspeak on another with a websiite open on the 3rd. I did a lot of research before I took the dive into Eyefinity. No real regrets on the decision. Just wished it had more support with the FoV issues older games have
