can't live without my multiple monitors :P

Gaming, in my opinion, is amazing. Once you get used to the fact that there is a "void" in the middle (the image is split down the middle, but there is no "monitor" behind the bezel; this means that anything traveling from the right side of the screen to the left will instantly traverse the bezel.), gaming rules.


I rest my case :P

But seriously, I absolutely love my dual monitors now. Never thought I'd really think it'd be that interesting, but I now hate working on a single monitor. I actually find myself dragging useless programs to a second monitor, only to realize that it isn't there XD

wouldn't multiple monitors use more power in general than one single big monitor though? I mean there are some of us here that ACTUALLY try to save money on their electricity bills.

Dual monitors is nice to have like msn/aim/foobar/vent on another screen while play CS:S/Crysis.
