<nb-ben> if I have both integrated GPU and PCI-E GPU, can I use two monitors on each one of them?
<nb-ben> or should I connect both to my PCI-E GPU?
<nb-ben> I mean, one monitor on each of them (two total)
<terabit> nb-ben: most pci-e gpu’s will let you have dual monitors these days(I know my 550ti does)
<terabit> I doubt if your os would run to graphics cards at the same time
<nb-ben> I actually have 550 ti
<mputtr> then you should be able to use your 550ti to output 2 monitors
<nb-ben> I have two 1080p monitors (1920×1080)
<terabit> if it could there wouldn’t be a need for virtualizing the hd300
<mputtr> you need another gpu if you want a 3rd monitor
<terabit> hd3000 *
<mputtr> nb-ben your 550ti will do fine
<nb-ben> I see
<terabit> my 550ti has 2 dvi and one hdmi
<terabit> it should be able to use all
<nb-ben> I will not be able to use two DisplayPort cables tho right
<mputtr> nope
<terabit> (3 monitors)
<mputtr> it can only do 2
<nb-ben> I’ll have to use an HDMI or DVI on at least one
<mputtr> nb-ben you can only output 2 monitors max for the mid and low end cards
<terabit> there are cards that do 3 monitors , you should get those
<mputtr> the super high end ones can do it. but those are rare
<nb-ben> thank you
<mputtr> np
<nb-ben> mputtr: the top row is the main display right?
<mputtr> terabit your 550ti can’t do 3 monitors simultaneously by itself
<mputtr> nb-ben there is no main display
<nb-ben> my bottom row lacks DisplayPort :(
<mputtr> you just pick whichever you want
<nb-ben> only top one has it
<mputtr> it’s just how they organize it
<mputtr> that’s all
<nb-ben> bah guess I’ll have to screw a bigg hole to run DVI through the table
<nb-ben> bigger *
<nb-ben> drill*
<mputtr> there’s no such thing as a “slimmer” port? like the ones w/o the screws?
<mputtr> (this i dont know.. just wondering)
<mputtr> well if you know how to drill a hole, you’ll be fine then
<nb-ben> it’s a masterpiece table I have made lol
<MrSparkle> you could cut the wire then try to attach the plug back onto it
<MrSparkle> good luck
<mputtr> roflmao
<nb-ben> as soon as I got out of military I decided I want a huge no-bullshit table
<DaveWM> drill 4 smaller holes
<nb-ben> made a 4 meter long table
<mputtr> because that’s logical, to cut the wires 0.o
<nb-ben> out of full wood
<DaveWM> overlaying eachother
<nb-ben> has no legs, connected to a wall
<nb-ben> well, one middle leg
<mputtr> support?
<DaveWM> to make one ovalish connector, won’t be a big ass round hole
<mputtr> what about those triangle thing that you can use for support
<nb-ben> I drilled planks to the walls
<nb-ben> and set it on it
<DaveWM> of course how can a hole overlay another?…. how can nothing touch nothing..
<nb-ben> and added a leg at the center
<DaveWM> that’s like half a hole… there’s no such thing…
<DaveWM> ah!
<mputtr> oh
<nb-ben> it hurts me to drill such a beautiful thing
<nb-ben> lol
<mputtr> i thought that if you wanted a really really leg-less wall, you’ll need those triangular support things
<DaveWM> i completely rebuilt my computer desk to accomodate my hardware
<nb-ben> it’s like
<mputtr> pics
<mputtr> !
<nb-ben> you screw planks to the wall
<DaveWM> still got more work to do on it
<mputtr> upload some pics man
<nb-ben> and then you use the planks for support
<nb-ben> I will :)
<mputtr> lol
<nb-ben> it is still not completely done though
<mputtr> cool
<nb-ben> well I guess some people wouldn’t know how to make it better
<nb-ben> I want to add a lower table at the center, to level mouse and keyboard from monitor
<mputtr> *shrug*
<nb-ben> gonna cover that part with glass I think
<nb-ben> so that it’s smooth
<nb-ben> though idk yet cause it will make mouse not work without a pad
<nb-ben> that + 2 monitors + keyboard + mouse + awesome-but-simple chair
<nb-ben> been my dream for a long time lol
<mputtr> lol
<DaveWM> http://imgbin.org/images/6651.jpg I had to make that cabinet taller by removing the bottom and putting in a thinner pannel, it also slides out like a drawer now to access the pc
<nb-ben> and that huuuuuge table, cost me only about $150 to make if I round it up
<DaveWM> I plan on actually putting guides on it, I got some strong double action guides, just havent had the time
<DaveWM> http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=6652 there used to be cubbies/shelves above the monitor area, but I lowered the hight so that its just tall enough for my monitors but would support my lcd tv right <nb-ben> I see
<nb-ben> that’s actually not a bad idea dave
<A_J> Hey nb
<mputtr> wow, you smoke while you’re at the computer?
<nb-ben> I guess if you put the guides underneath it then you also eliminate the possibility wires would get caught
<nb-ben> at least most of it
<DaveWM> also had to remove the back of the cabinet, cause my computer case is too deep for this desk
<nb-ben> hello A_J
<mputtr> and wow.. that’s alotta monitors
<DaveWM> antec 900 is a beast for a mid tower
<nb-ben> ugh
<mputtr> i like my full tower
<DaveWM> yeah, the tv is a new addition to my monitors
<mputtr> very cool.
<nb-ben> just realising my girlfriend flew with my cell phone
<mputtr> im happy w/ my dual monitor set up
<DaveWM> I wouldnt mind a full tower… not sure where i’d put it…
<DaveWM> lol
<nb-ben> lol
<mputtr> fits under my cheap ol ikea table just fine
<mputtr> with 7inches of space
<DaveWM> yeah, i’d be fine with dual monitors, the tv is for… watching tv from my pc… the other monitors are just because I happened to have them
<DaveWM> lol
<nb-ben> I like building my own furniture
<mputtr> lol
<nb-ben> idk, it just makes me feel good
<mputtr> see… i would build my own stuff too
<nb-ben> exactly how I want it
<mputtr> but…. i dont have a home yet.. just an apartment
<nb-ben> yeah apartments are tricky
<mputtr> no place to buy and store nice hardware
<nb-ben> cause you’ll leave it at some point probably
<nb-ben> unless you bought it?
<mputtr> otherwise, i’d have a freakin circular saw, and a dremel tool, and all that
<nb-ben> mputtr: how big is the apartment?
<mputtr> nb-ben and where would i keep something like a circ saw
<mputtr> not big enough :P
<nb-ben> mputtr: on the wall
<mputtr> lol no thanks.. there’s simply not enough space
<nb-ben> mputtr: shelf under the ceiling
<DaveWM> on the shelf… next to the guest towels
<mputtr> do you know hwo much shit i would be getting from my gf
<DaveWM> ya know… just to show them you mean srs bznz
<nb-ben> mputtr: if your ceiling is high enough, you can build an attic with simple plates
<nb-ben> mputtr: or just shelf your walls real tight
<DaveWM> I suffer from a serious lack of space myself
<mputtr> she bitched and moan bad enough when i had my recurve bow case out in the living room
<nb-ben> mputtr: at places that are above your head level
<DaveWM> still working out this space to handle my recording equiptment and computer parts and allow me space to work on stuff
<mputtr> too bad i dont think i’ll be living there long enough to really make changes
<DaveWM> so its mostly all about going vertical, cause I don’t have the horizontal space
<DaveWM> shelves cabinets and more shelves…
<mputtr> i would go for that
<DaveWM> stack and stack until you need a safety hat to safely inhabit the space
<mputtr> but yeah… i just dont live in these apartments long enough to really make those changes :P
<nb-ben> mputtr: check this out:
<mputtr> watching
<nb-ben> your apartment is probably bigger than that
<DaveWM> I built a work surface to the right of the computer desk to work on computers, i rebuilt it so that it has a pull out with my midi keyboard under it, also going to add a large pull out for hand tools on it
<mputtr> OHH
<mputtr> i’ve seen this before
<mputtr> very cool
<DaveWM> but atm I got it a little too high, noticed that when I was getting my pc all cleaned out, even on my tall bar stool its hard to look into the case
<DaveWM> so I gotta redo the legs about 4 inches shorter
<mputtr> nb-ben yeah but unlike him, i dont live in the apartment long enough to do that
<mputtr> this is more of his living quarter.. and a bachelor’s living quarter
<nb-ben> yeah
<DaveWM> i used the original legs from the table, but after adding my 9 inches of cubby under it, that made it quite tall
<nb-ben> personally
<nb-ben> I want to have a crib like that
<mputtr> i love how he did his place though
<nb-ben> for an office
<mputtr> it’s an awesome bachelors pad
<nb-ben> to take over the world
<mputtr> lol
<nb-ben> :D
<DaveWM> really standard keyboard height… and i mean music/piano keyboard… is 27 inches, I got that too high, so dropping it all is cool
<nb-ben> DaveWM: it relaly varies from person to person
<DaveWM> yeah
<DaveWM> nb-ben: this is also my bedroom
<DaveWM> its horrible cramped
<DaveWM> but the computer area looks bad ass… lol
<nb-ben> DaveWM: you want to have your monitor height + distance adjustable and your chair’s height adjustable
<nb-ben> and then you’re good
<DaveWM> I’m still working out the details… I need more room bad
<nb-ben> if you give enough adjustment freedom
<DaveWM> that’s why I’m consolidating much of the furniture for multiple purposes
<nb-ben> lol
<nb-ben> I like open spaces
<DaveWM> my main interests being having a digital recording studio and working on computers…
<DaveWM> if I have space for that, I’ll feel happy with my world
<DaveWM> its still lacking a tad, but its just a matter of time… been too busy with work to get any more done lately, but all of what I got has just been done in the past few months… so its good progress
<nb-ben> DaveWM: my room used to feel very tight on space
<DaveWM> just gotta drop that work counter and add some more shelves in here and possibly some peg board above the work surface to hang stuff on
<Arirang> DaveWM, you only need a mattress, a chair and a table
<nb-ben> DaveWM: I just bought a few wood plates and set them on the ceiling, moved a lot of stuff there
<nb-ben> DaveWM: now I have more space than I can use
<Arirang> All other things are extra
<DaveWM> yeah… like I said… gotta go vertical
<DaveWM> heh
<nb-ben> DaveWM: under the ceiling, sorry
<nb-ben> DaveWM: and I have a crapload of place for more
<nb-ben> yeah
<nb-ben> vertical it is, storage shouldn’t be in your way
<DaveWM> also, I got so much shit I keep that I don’t use regularly, gonna go through it and actually put some of it outside in storage for more space
<Arirang> That way, when the feds come after you, you can leave everything behind without much of loss
<DaveWM> so my cabinets will actually be for things I use regularly and not for storing things I might access once a year or when I happen to have a computer that needs that particular part
<nb-ben> yes this is how I did it
<nb-ben> I am really happy with it
<nb-ben> my mom thinks my room looks like uhh
<nb-ben> a storage place (idk the word for it)
<Arirang> DaveWM, are feds staking out your house?
<Arirang> DaveWM, don’t make the same mistake as that fatso Kim Dotcom
<DaveWM> if any of you suffer from anxiety or depression, or just that ugh feeling (actually depression)… when your living space isnt in the order you’d like… it can be a major factor
<DaveWM> lol, Arirang they should be
<nb-ben> why would anyone be after you dave?
<Arirang> depression = self pity
<DaveWM> I recently did some shit I feel half guilty about… first “bad” kind of hacking I ever did in my life, before that it was always just shit I did for learning or fun
<Arirang> nb-ben, I bet people asked Kim Dotcom the same question
<DaveWM> also have been through the three strikes with my ISP for copyright infringement and got cut off… and managed to get cut back on… so I think I’m riding a fine line with the law atm
<DaveWM> but half of that wasnt my fault, just me being naive… cause it wasnt even my downloads that got me in hot water
<Quietlyawesome94> neighbor?
<DaveWM> sorta… I missed the first strike… like it got lost in mail or something… the second was some stuff I’ve never heard of.. I was sharing my wifi network with the neighborhood at the time… seemed like th<Arirang> It’s not the downloads that gets you in trouble, it’s usually the amount of data transfer and the uploads
<DaveWM> so after that I tightened up security… but that didnt help, cause my parents gave out the wifi address to everybody they know here that they “trusted”
<DaveWM> then the third strike came in and we were cut off
<DaveWM> was fixing my mom’s friends laptop and took the extra 6 seconds to check her downloads…
<DaveWM> and what do you know… there’s the shit that was listed on the notice of infringement that got me cut off
<Arirang> DaveWM, I bet the bitch probably was seeding it, that’s probably the reason
<Quietlyawesome94> TIP: dont use public trackers
<WalterN> ohi DaveWM
<Quietlyawesome94> I have gotten on 3 private ones in the last 2 months
<DaveWM> so now… since I managed to get cut back on (a guy in tech department said he’s never in 5 years seen anybody get cut back on after the 3rd notice) now my stuff is so tightly locked that even the password wo<WalterN> wait, what?
<DaveWM> Arirang: yea she got other people in this area cut off as well
<DaveWM> she was seeding and not even realizing it
<Arirang> Dumb bitch
<Arirang> How old is she?
<nb-ben> why do you feel bad about it
<nb-ben> nobody will do anything to you if what you say is true, worst case ask questions
<DaveWM> here I managed to go years downloading stuff and no issues… a few people use my shit and I get screwed over
<Arirang> Yeah, it’s best not to let others use it
<DaveWM> so now… you gotta go through me, and its about a 15 minute process for me to add a device to my network now
<TuxBlackEdo> what is bitcoin miner?
<DaveWM> lol
<Arirang> TuxBlackEdo, /topic please
<WalterN> DaveWM: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=26048188
<TuxBlackEdo> yeah thats where i got it from
<DaveWM> annoying when I gotta add personal stuff, but at least I feel safe
<DaveWM> nice WalterN
<Quietlyawesome94> TuxBlackEdo: some sort of stupid virtual currency
<DaveWM> a lot of money though
<nb-ben> WalterN: I decided I won’t buy that
<TuxBlackEdo> Quietlyawesome94, virtual currency?
<nb-ben> WalterN: I will probably go with SNB-E
<TuxBlackEdo> wtf is a virtual currency?
<mputtr> google it
<mputtr> plenty of information
<WalterN> TuxBlackEdo: its bad assumptions about how money works with computers mixed in and butt tons of fail mixed in
<Quietlyawesome94> erm
<Arirang> Once again, /topic
<WalterN> nb-ben: heh… its just me drolling over stuff…
<Arirang> I guess you are free to talk about anything in here, but not that
<nb-ben> WalterN: I was seriously considering buying that though
<buhman> I don’t know, having some bitcoin wouldn’t be a bad idea
<buhman> if deflation is still where it is
<TuxBlackEdo> bitcoin is probably a scam
<mputtr> http://bit.ly/sbmhRK
<buhman> not from what I read awhile ago;
<Quietlyawesome94> ^
<WalterN> nb-ben: evidently there is going to be a revised EVGA classified sr-2 motherboard coming with some sort of intel processor revision
<Arirang> TuxBlackEdo, you are lucky that none of the ops are awake
<Quietlyawesome94> dont click its lemonparty
<TuxBlackEdo> Arirang, what did i do?
<mputtr> just click the damn link to learn more about it
<TuxBlackEdo> is bitcoin a scam or something?
<buhman> TuxBlackEdo: no
<ra4king> TuxBlackEdo: LOL
<TuxBlackEdo> i don’t know what i have done x_x
<Quietlyawesome94> no, we just hate bitcoin
<nb-ben> WalterN: I don’t really understand what it means except for the explicitly stated
<TuxBlackEdo> apparently i am lucky the ops arent awake
<nb-ben> (processor revised motherboard)
<mputtr> you asked a question that is not worth talkin about
<WalterN> heh
<TuxBlackEdo> TuxBlackEdo, you are lucky that none of the ops are awake
<buhman> TuxBlackEdo: I think the reason they hate it is because successfully “mining” a bitcoin is more likely to cost you more for the electricity to mine it than the actual coins mined
<mputtr> TuxBlackEdo just click the link and read.
<Arirang> And it specifically said so on the /topic
<WalterN> nb-ben: new motherboard coming that is like the SR-2 that will use some future intel processor
<DaveWM> well this conversation can go to ##hardware-social
<MrSparkle> they are a scam
<DaveWM> I’m pretty bad about going offtopic myself
<TuxBlackEdo> feels like a scam
<Arirang> DaveWM, I am sure that it’s not tolerated over there either
<TuxBlackEdo> pyramid sceme
<nb-ben> WalterN: heh, when is that probably coming?
<nb-ben> WalterN: before or after ivy?
<WalterN> with? I donno
<DaveWM> Arirang: probably…
<MrSparkle> birscam
<WalterN> sometime this year is all I know
<MrSparkle> bitscam
<TuxBlackEdo> more like bitDUMB
<TuxBlackEdo> lol
