So the messing around with Linux got me to pull out the extra monitors and hook em all up, and I rearranged everything into a pretty sweet total nerd setup. The awesome part is that Synergy app I pasted in another thread, links all three comps (two dual boot linux/win, one windows-only), so I can actually mouse across all four screens/three computers and the keyboard/mouse becomes active for that PC. Very slick app, and supposedly works for macs too, I'd highly recommend it. I included the home theater gear for my buds on another forum but figured I'd paste em here too. Onto the nerd setup:

1. 17" LCD 1280x1024, hooked up to #7
2. 20" LCD 1600x1200, hooked up to #5
3. 24" LCD 1920x1200, hooked up to #6
4. 20" LCD 1600x1200, hooked up to #6
5. WinXP/Ubuntu PC: In-Win mini-itx case, Intel D945GCLF, Intel Atom 230 CPU, 2GB RAM, 150GB WD Raptor, built-in Intel gfx
6. WinXP PC: Thermaltake Armor case, Intel D975XBX, Intel Pentium D925 3GHz, 4GB RAM, 300GB WD Raptor, ATI Radeon HD3870
7. WinXP/CentOS PC: Coolermaster Elite case, Asus P4P800, Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 3GB RAM, 250GB WD, 4x1TB WD -> 2TB RAID 10
8. Western Digital 1TB networked backup drive
9. Denon 2307CI Receiver
10. AT&T U-verse HDDVR
11. Panasonic BD30K Blu-ray player
12. Toshiba HD-XA2 HD-DVD player
13. Belkin PF40 power center
14. Behringer EP2500 amplifier
15. Emotiva XPA-5 amplifier
16. DIY built speakers. 5 total (2 more to come later), all hooked up to #15
17. Toby "Ranger" bandpass sub, hooked up to #14
18. Samsung HLS6187W 61" DLP
