1280 RMB...best deal yet...

Make sure your desk surface is strong enough... one made of solid timber and not cheap Ikea chipboard, or the array will fall down and put a hole in your head after putting a hole through the desktop.

Yeah, mine is a floor stand with a clamp to the back of the desk just for a bit of extra stability for when I thump the desk,

c:

I have 25 Kg of screens

[CanOz]

Is this an online store? I'm keen to get one.

Yeah its TaoBao...if you know someone that speaks mandarin you could probably order one. I get my wife's PA to order for me...

That particular one is made from Aluminum...

Yeah, just the ticket...

I've selected this stand after speaking with the seller and explaining my requirements....looks better for a desk like mine.

Well I finally got my little gadget going.

1 laptop and three screens (plus the laptop screen) and an old tired desktop with 1 screen.

Thanks to Captain Black for the idea!

This should do me until i can get my new PC built in a few weeks.

Cheers,


CanOz

I recently hooked up to 2 monitors + laptop screen. The 3rd monitor is a duplicate of the 2nd, is this because I need to upgrade my graphics card? if so, could anybody please recommend one. - doesn't need to be super flashy.

Thanks

No probs CanOz, hth

Did you get the adapter up and running easily? I had problems with Vista when I first bought mine a few years ago but they ran flawlessly in XP and now in Windows 7.

Would love to know how quiet your new PC is when you get it up and running. I'm building a new home theatre PC this year so am keeping an eye on people's experiences with noise from various cases. Cheers.

Nice setup btw. Didn't see Amibroker running on any of those screens.... :

Enjoy.

Kospi closed on Monday so sort of a long weekend here too. Getting all my weekend coding, backup etc. jobs out the way today then off in the kayak for a paddle for a couple of days

Now that's sounds nice

Well i finally got my new PC.

Here are the specs:


Mobo: ASUS Z77(P8Z77-V DELUXE)
Cpu: I7 3770
Cpu Fan HR-02
Ssd: Samsung 830 512 GB
Graphic Card: Nvidia/colorful GeForce GT 640 Quad Screen
Ram: Kingston Hyper Blue DDR3 8G*2
Case: Coolermaster Silencio 550
Power Supply: Antec TP 550
System: Win7 Pro 64 English
Screens: Dell E2213 x 3
Stand: 6 screen Aluminum - Black

The day didn't start off well. 20 minutes down the tollway to Shanghai and we bust a tread. So here i am, on the deadliest stretch of highway between here and Shanghai, where cars frequently use the breakdown lane as a third passing lane, changing a tire on my wife's nephew's car as he watches (and learns).

Anyway we finally got to the market, one of the largest electronic component markets in China (and the world). 20 floors of tech gear.

It took all day, 8 hours from the time we got to the shop until we left. Most of the time was trying to decide the graphics card and negotiating price....of course. We finally settled on the NVidia after we tested and I researched it online. Its a new card, only been out for 5 months and uses a 30+ pin output to DVI in order to effectively split the two outputs to four.

The PC is so quiet, but because I'm still waiting for my stand to show up i haven't has NT running to put pressure on it yet. Nice case though, dust and sound proof.

For the screen configuration I'll be trying to get the 4 x 22" rectangular screens on one side for the PC and then the 2 x 22" square on the other and tied into my laptop. This should give my desk the most effective use of space. Under the desk i have installed another 6 power points for the screens so i get the cords off the floor and tied up high out of the way. This will allow for easier cleaning and better air flow around the PC.

Now....where is that stand?

20 floors?

Wow, that's some nice gear!!!

We're looking at buying another house down in Tassie and moving there later this year so I'll have to put off the new media centre and trading PC until then... got enough stuff to move as it is without adding to it.

How's the day trading going?

New media center? Do tell! Tassie, great idea, lovely place....when its not on fire....i feel for Smurf! Wish i could convince Mr.s CanOz to move there, were thinking Queensland now after we got scared away from buying in Thailand.

The day trading is going well although i haven't had time to give it a fair shot since i left full time work again. Lots of family issues at the moment, all good though. I'm feeling better then ever about my trade location and execution is showing better results statistically now too. I'm not game to post anything in terms of a record until i get solid 100 trades in though. At my current rate it might be a while. That's ok though, I've got little pressure this time around!

My stand arrives tomorrow so i'll post a shot as soon as my photographer is back...

Cheers,


CanOz

 

[captain black]

New media center?

Nothing too exciting, just a quiet box to run a lightweight linux distro and xbmc to use as a media server. Running it all on a Core2 laptop atm and it does the job but would like a dedicated box with an SSD and a few internal hard drives. I trade the Kospi, I need something to keep me awake

Tassie, great idea, lovely place....when its not on fire....i feel for Smurf!

I like the area NE of Launceston, around George Town. The NBN has been rolled out there so it ticks the box as far as a reliable internet connection is concerned. We honeymooned in Tassie and have been back a few times, love the place.

Wish i could convince Mr.s CanOz to move there, were thinking Queensland now after we got scared away from buying in Thailand.

I lived in Qld for about 6-7 years in my 20's on the Sunshine Coast. The coast is too overpopulated for my liking, although if you're coming from China I guess it wouldn't seem that way!

Getting results that fit into a certain set of metrics is all that matters. It's the best job in the world once that happens
