ASUS LCD's = Junk

I Recently Purchased an ASUS VW222U 22" Widescreed LCD, First thing i noticed was how small it was, I mean i jsut wasted $335 on this thing my 22" CRT's are better, i think the LCD is going to become a TV for my media center instead now. It was absolute Krapp! Heres the good part it shipped to me with 4 green 'stuck'(bright dots) pixels in a cluster, looked like a green spotlight shining into your face white trying to play Games!!!!

uATX baord with dual PCIex16

Hate to be a loser adn psot yet another forum btu this one is differant.

i need to knwo if anyone has heard of or has any info about Micro ATX mainboards suporting dual PCIe16x slots, im thinking of running dual 8800gts cards in order to run a tri screen gamming setup on either 3 30"dell screens or samsung screens, i do not want to go with smaller monitors, as i assume if i ran 3 17 i could possibly run all three of one video card with daul link, but as the 30" screens require dual link to run i would not be able to run 3 of them from a single card. . .

and yes it has to be a micro atx board or i woudlnt haev any porblems finding a mainboard would i

so im looking for a micro atx baord with daul pcie16x slots, as i dont want to be running a 8800GTX with like a crappy pci card fro the 3rd screen (not that i coudl anyway was it has to be daul link fro the 30" screens)

Time To Start Building!!!

Alright guys the time is almost here,

I now have a full time job so i will soon be able to afford to begin building my SFF Gaming PC,

instead of going with my original plan on a silverstone TJ08 case im acctualy going to start the build of with a Asus uATX barebones tower, it has a 300W PSU and a decent uATX mainboard with the G33 chipset so it can handle a quad core extreem chip if i wanted.

im going to start with a E2140 for the cpu, basicly coz i really want to get this build started and i cna overclock teh hell out of it with a Zalman cooler (dont worrie guys in about a month or so after i buy this i will be buying something along the lines of a E6750 or higher)

ill also start with 2GIG of 667 DDR2 memory i dont see ti worth going to 800 as when i upgrade the cpu ill upgrade the memory also and i want some memory to use with the 2140 CPU when i replace that.
