Thanks guys. A lot of time and money went into getting this done but it was worth it.
Gaming wasn't the only consideration in putting this computer together. As you might recall when I started out all I really wanted was a decently powered computer in a nice HTPC case to install in my audio rack. A lot has changed since then.
After rethinking what I wanted out of this system, I came to the conclusion that a larger workspace would improve my productivity. I'm an IT consultant and frequently work on client networks through secure VPN tunnels. Having three full sized displays prevents a lot of wasted time resizing and moving windows around.
Naturally, it is also great for gaming. I like games that don't have much of a learning curve since I don't have a lot of time available to learn a complex control system. So most simulations are out. I tend to play shooters and the panoramic display really does improve the gaming experience.
You guessed right Rich. The speakers are from AudioKinesis. They are a custom built based on the Planetarium Alpha, with integrated down firing subs. I have also added a pair of satellite subs and the 1,000 watt amp to give me the full Swam sub-woofer set up. I'm very happy with the speakers. Duke is terrific to work with.
