Wow thats pretty good

Will the PSU run all the new graphics cards with the 6 pin for extra power?

Thanks

The ATI 5000 series cards can run three monitors but one needs to have a DisplayPort input.

Isn't that just for eyefinity?

I thought if I just wanted three monitors, I could use DVI, DVI, and HDMI.

If I had an HDMI cable I'd try it.

i've got a display port to DVI converter so should be cool.

For eyefinity it has to be an ACTIVE adaptor - as far as I know, the way to tell is if it needs USB power.
