Here is a link to one of my current gaming machine setups. I decided to take current generation hardware accelerated surround gaming to the next level from 3 to 5 screens.

Why'd I do it? What else are Boeing surplus $10 monitors good for? :lol

Enjoy! :thumb:

:bigeyes: How many eyes do you have mate?!?

The idea is to have a whole 180 degree field of view. All that takes is 2 eyes. :rofl

Also, this is to test out the potential for 5-projector surround screen setups that would be "eye-candy deluxe" for flight simmers. Did I mention I have 2 InFocus SP5000 and 2 Sharp XG-850U projectors? 1 more InFocus and this could be done on screens.

Would you try with Flat panels? there's much less space between the edges. the chair is very useful. nothing like me. 1 17" with a dinner table chair. :wink2:
