Check this system out. Looks like FSX. One computer. Eight monitors.







The motherboard and processor combo is $500. You'll spend anywhere from $800 to $2400 total for video cards. You'd likely need a 1200 watt power supply which will run around $380.

Then it gets difficult. You can figure a 10 to 15 amp circuit just for your computer case. And then a 15 to 20amp for the monitors and accessories.

That makes for one seriously big electric bill just to play on the computer.

Thats pretty sweet! I knew a guy that was really into NASCAR and made a set up with 6 monitors and i thought he was nuts.

Dang, if only I had expendable income.

Why do my favorite airlines end up going defunct??
