Talking yaaaay, dual monitor setup!

$20 at a garage sale... common, can't pass that up

wish it was the same size as the one on the left (that I had before), but for $20 I guess I can't really complain too much, lol

eventually, maybe I'll get another 22" to match the one on the left


now I can watch TV as I browse the interweb






also makes my screen saver ever MORE amazing

Once you go dual monitor, you can never go back.

Of course, three is real nice.

Man, just going from my 37" and 23" 1080p setup at home to my 23" 1080p and 19" 1280x1024 setup at work is annoying.

the best way to go is the 40 inch monitor for the web and whatever, and then the projector on the wall behind it for watching movies and such, projector isnt hd, but is widescreen, and at about eight feet who really cares if its all that pretty for most dvd quality movies

Looks great bleeder

What res you running? Dual dvi, vga, or hdmi?

And yeah, there is no way to go back to single monitor now. Laptops are even gonna piss you off. Is it bad I want a third 24"?

BTW, unless there is a story behind it, wrenches belong in toolboxes, not on the wall

1680x1050 on the 22", 1440x900 on the 19" (maxed out for both monitors)

HDMI for both of course

using Ultamon to put the taskbar on both screens and stretch my wallpaper across both screens because Windows 7 is too stupid to do it by itself...


and that 13mm wrench is just a little souvenir from when I worked at Jiffy Lube after HS. the story behind that particular 13mm wrench is pretty funny and insane though lol.

In the parking lot behind the service bays we would do intake system cleaning (running this cleaning solution into the intake via a vacuum port, pretty much like running SeaFoam through a vacuum port). Well I was supervising a new guy do this, and when I walked up to the car to see how he was doing, as soon as I got up to the vehicle (a white Jeep Wrangler... I'll never forget that either), I glanced into the engine bay just in time to see this wrench sitting up on the fan shroud, and watch it vibrate and fall into the fan/belt area

well about 1/2 a second later, that wrench took off like a rocket right out of the engine bay and got thrown about 50 feet into the air and landed up on top of the roof of our building! when it fell, it much have landed just right and wedged an end in between the serpentine belt and a pulley. we would run the engines at a constant 2k RPMs, and apparently that's all that was needed to send that wrench flying


BUT, that's not the end of it


about 3 months later, on my day off, I drove up to the store to pick something up that I had left the day before, and I parked behind the building right next to the building. it was a windy day, and there was a tree right by the building that had some branches that overhung the building. we would always hear the branches scraping the roof when the wind blew hard enough. well I guess I parked there in just the wrong time, because a good enough gust of wind came by and really moved the branches around, and that wrench must have been just in reach of the branch. next thing I know I hear this metal on metal sliding sound above me as I'm walking out. I look up just in time to see the wrench fall FROM the roof, and go STRAIGHT THROUGH MY WINDSHIELD...


so yeah I kept that stupid wrench, lol
