Got my hex LCD array stand in the mail today. $150+$20 shipping from TykeSupply.
Only got 4 of them hooked up now, other 2 are in my shop for repair (bad power regulators). I can't wait until all 6 are running though. See picture below.

Microchips arrived in the mail from China yesterday, hopefully within a week I'll get those other 2 screens fixed.
-
hey since you have like 6 can you just part with one?? =p

Very sustainable ??? what ever happened to frugality?

...WHAT.
Asdfg.
You'd be better off playing UrT on a TV or something.

That would be nice back in Q3 days when you could set FOV as high as you wanted :)
-
I got 5 up and running now (see below, easier to work on Bowser this way :D ). It looks like the 6th one doesn't have a bad power regulator but probably some blown caps on the logic board, so off to ebay for a new logic board is probably the easiest bet, which means at least another week until I can show you guys a picture of what Urban Terror looks like on 6 screens >:(

I do that too, I actually have Urban Terror installed on my XBOX, but working the xpad is difficult. It does look nice on my 60" TV though.

Blahh. I give up. x_x
Nice setup anyway. I dont know how it all works, but wouldnt the space between the screens give you blind spots?

Not exactly, where one screen ends the other starts. Kinda like a pair of sunglasses. It is difficult to play like this. However, I'm only doing it cause I can, which is why I do a lot of things.

Good questions actually, it was about $170 USD for the stand, but it looks like they are on sale right now for $120.

Secondly, I bought 6 broken Dell 18" LCDs off ebay, and fixed them. They were all between $10-$50. So after all the payments, shipping costs, part to fix them, it was about $150 may be.
Lastly, and probably the most expensive, the video cards. I have 3. 2 are PCI Express 16 (both dual head), and the third is a dual head but using regular PCI 2.0 bus. It was $300-$400 for the video cards, may be more. I can give you model numbers if you want, but all 3 are Nvidia of course. The 2 PCIE cards have at least 1GB of ram, as does the PCI 2.0 one. To top it off, my system also has 4GB of ram.

If you could give me your entire computer spec? mobo/ram/everything ? lol that would be awesome

My PC is pretty old, 2 years old in fact, and you could buy something much better right now. You wouldn't want to buy the same stuff I have, but the latest equivalent or better (prices generally fall). That being said, if you still want, I can probably pull the old shopping lists from NewEgg. I have the ASUS P5K-E with the Q6600 CPU.
-
;( I only have 1 monitor and it's old and you 'll never found something that it is not fake
-
Well anything is better than mine pretty much,
main problem here is the video card I think anyways xD maybe another stick of ram would be good.

The E8400 is a damn good CPU, I wish I had one, but at the time, they didn't have a quad core in the 3.0 GHz range (Yorkfield) worth paying the price for. Are you running 32 bit windows? I think I bought the Q6600 for an even $200 in Summer 2008.
My video cards are:

Yea 32 bit windows didn't see the need for 64bit with 3 gb of ram
-
PCI: 3 Slots
PCIe x1: 1 Slot
PCIe x16 (Graphics): 1 Slot
PCIe x8: 1 Slot
Ah looks like I need a new mobo if I wish to have a good setup only onr x16 slot kinda fails :P

Sure you only have 3? I thought I saw in your specs that you had dual channel? If that's the case, you would need 4 no? But yea, x64 is worth it for the ram, and pretty much everything is compatible now.
-
hmm I don't know Control panel> System says 3.00 GB of RAM

It's finally done! Uploading pictures ...

:D
Short answer, you don't. It's just a proof of concept, just for fun kinda thing. I do however use all 6 screens for daily productivity (programming), which is great!
-
wow thats so cool pyrite. and lol at white*lynx getting owned in the video :P
-
Yeah, but your pizza is getting cold!
-
Very nice Pyrite!
I'm thinking of setting up a 1X3, much like your first pic. Did you need to mess with FOV to compensate for the width of the spanned screens? Or was it as simple as defining a custom resolution of, for example, 5760X1080?
-
What is sad is do I take note of the kick arse set up? Nope! But what I do notice is the empty bag of chips on the floor though. :/

I just defined a custom resolution in my urt autoexec.cfg
