About those monitors (model # ?), I have a similar model with that type of stand. Mine DO NOT have mounting holes/thread inserts in the rear to mount on the racks often seen and discussed here on ET. I can't see if those do but if your thinking of a rack mount, take a good look at that. Many times I believe they are returned because of this, then resold at a discount. GREAT DEAL!!
I am no expert. It looks like a Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW 21.5 inch LCD monitor? I love Samsung monitors. Their colors and contrasts are the best from what I have seen. I have a few 2243SWX and 2343BWX. With a 21.5 inch providing resolution of 1920 x 1080... that is great! Especially for $100 each. I am waiting for some 2650 x 1600 monitors at 24-inch... According to Samsung's spec, this model has VESA 100mm on the back. If it is this model it should be okay. http://www.samsung.com/ph/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification
I noticed the 350 watt p/s requirement. Does that mean he would need 1400 watts to run four of these?:eek: I'm wrong on that one I'm sure.
No. It is the system requirements with one card. I don't know the individual spec on this card. If you really pushed it and added 100 watts per additional card ( example 2 card )to the recommended system 350 that would 550. I would imagine that is adding a lot for those cards. I don't know the cards so this is just for example http://www.powerstream.com/Amps-Watts.htm clip from link... The conversion of Volts to Watts at fixed amperage is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts
This is a good article on power consumption graphics cards/ power supplies How Much Power Does Your Graphics Card Need? http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-radeon-power,2122.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- from the article.... page 6 Actual Power Consumption And Current Requirements ... Letâs take the Radeon HD 4870 as an example. AMD states â500 watt power supplyâ as a requirement on the packaging. According to the actual measurements, though, the graphics card doesnât need more than 150 watts even under full load. Now weâll calculate in 150 watts for the CPU, motherboard and drives, 300 watts should be enough. If we assume from this a 300 watt load on the 12 V line, this means 25 A is required for this rail. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-radeon-power,2122-6.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
