Well following up on the blogging community posting pics about their EVE-Spaces, I had to spend a bit of time to clear up the mess and then take a couple of shots 
I didn’t think it would take me the better part of 2 weeks to clear it but as they say – better late than never :-p
Well here it is:
3x LG Flatron W2486L – 1080p LED screens driven by 3x8800GTX (triple-SLI able motherboard from ASUS but without enabling SLI is the trick to run this) gives an awesome desktop for EVE. I opted to go for nVidia although it doesn’t support running 1 client on all 3 screens at the same time (as ATi does) but I can run my 3 toons at the same time, each on it’s own 1080p screen which is pure awesomesauce!
Playing eve along me are various gadgets and geeky stuff as you can see below – and yes I am loaded with Microsoft hardware as well – the wrist pad is the latest addition – and boy it’s comfortable 
Oh and yeah.. I haven’t quitted smoking just yet either

That’s pretty awesome.
I have twin nVidia GTX 280s and two monitors set to run in super-big desktop mode, but yeah I don’t think it’s possible to set them up so they each run a seperate client, and certainly not in SLI mode. I can run the two monitors off of one card, run 2 EVE clients in window mode, and then put each on a seperate monitor, but thats the only way I am aware of. Does anyone know if it’s possible to run two clients using two cards instead of one? I might have to goof around a bit with it when I get off work.
Cool set up, man.

Epic fail for still smoking =)
Velocity Prime: We all play EVE in windowed mode and use evemon or other tools to relocate the client so it looks full-screen without actually suffering from the whole alt-tabbing / minimizing effect when clicking outside the game area.

Yep, I’m officially jealous of you QP… a setup like this and my FCS and I think I’d never touch EVE again!

@ Velocity: yeah you can run each on it’s own screen. I use “EVE Mover” to move windowed EVE clients on each monitor – a quite old tool but works just the way I like it to. WIthin EVE, you have to select the video card each client is playing on (doesn’t show as an option when you only have 1 video card). As you correctly mentioned, you’ll need to disable SLI to do this.
@ nekre / Cozmik: thanks guys – you make me blush :-p
I got this setup as a gift to myself last xmas after being 12 years in the IT industry I really wanted to have a great station to work and play as I usually work from home so this is also my main work-setup.

Awesome, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks QP.

Nice set up.
So, it has been about 8 to 10 months since I called you bloodthristy for shopting someone in your space. Since that time.
Your orca was ransom
Your pos was put into reinforce mode
And Star Defender just had a bad encounter because he was polite to people.
So I have returned to appologize. It does seem necessary to maintain NBSI fir wormholes.
But I do have a question for you, what us a good way to greet the WH locals you meet in a system. I still scan (albeit poorly) and look for class 1 or 2 to vist. All of them are occupied. I stay at the entrance and say hi. I get no response back even when I talk to them about the ships I see on directional.
Any thoughts?

Hey Acinom,
First off a minor correction.. our POSes in Planet Risk have been reinforced 3 times total, the third time we lost them.
As you already know, wspace colonists can be quite possessive with their space.
Now, having said that, in many C1/C2 I’ve seen, in most cases there are lots of sigs in the system and no-one can be seen in their POS. In such systems you should just start farming.
Now if there are just a couple of sigs in the system, that’s probably a system being actively used, so if you want to be polite, ask if you can run the sigs.
I would simply go ahead and farm any system that I feel I can defend myself against the locals, even if they try to stop me.
It’s 0.0 space and being the nice guy isn’t always the best way to go.
I have to admit though than in one case that we wanted to haul some stuff through a neighboring C1 and the locals realized what we where about to do, put a couple of BCs in the exit wormhole to scare us off. We had quite a few folks online and in any other case we would have attacked them without provocation, but at that time we just wanted to get some stuff out asap – so I talked to these guys and they agreed to stand down and let us through.
