Looks nice, although aren't those monitors a bit high? I'd imagine that causes a lot of neck strain.. unless you have a very laid-back position in your chair. :cool:

Nice setup. Thinking about putting together something similar with a 7950. What advantages does the Sabertooth have over an ASRock Extreme4 z77?

Nothing for the average user. A bit of ASUS extra cost and a bit of extra cost for the protective shielding. I imagine that if you're into the hardcore OC business, it may also have some other features you want. Extreme4 is a very good mobo for the money and lets you overclock your rock as much as you honestly need to. So in short, if you don't know why it's better, you won't need it. :rolleyes:

Recently sold my 6950 and grabbed an MSI 670. Running my TV as a 4th monitor now. The monitors are a reasonable height as for when I'm just redditing or sitting around watching videos, I sit in a laidback kinda position. Even when playing games it's not that bad. The center of the middle monitor is at eye level when I sit up so I feel it's fine :)
