The build

I've a few upcoming weekend projects for this, first thing is going to be changing the LEDs in the Nostromo. They're surface mount so it's going to be difficult, but I've sourced some compatible red LEDs. Next job will be painting the case, haven't decided quite what colour/theme yet. At some point I will install water coolig and change for an Intel CPU.

Why do you need 3 monitors? Isn't one well suited for your needs much better than 3 monitors if they are not even all the same resolution? I mean you have to set all 3 to the same resolution so that mean the biggest one is limited to 1080p right?

Nope. Also, 2560x1440 is still a 16:9 panel, just like a 1080.

Nice job on the build!

I suppose I don't really 'need' 3 monitors, but it's one hell of a convenience. I can still run the centre monitor @ 2560x1440 with the 2 side monitors being @ 1920x1080. I don't use them for eyefinity, I have tried eyefinity on 3 matching monitors but just cannot game comfortably. I much prefer gaming at 1440p on a bigger screen. The 2 side monitors are purely for extra real estate.
