my setup is almost complete, still is messy with the cables and I'm waiting for two dvi connectors to connect the highers monitors. The new worstation works really great compared to what I was used to
The X99 Boards are able to use the Memory as a Ram Disk if you have at least 16 GB Memory installed...that is way Faster than an SSD Drive....about 20X faster from what i have read.
That is a Very Fast Machine.
Thank you I followed your advice regarding the case and I'm happy I did
Honestly I don't know which cooler they gave me, I didn't asked they didn't say and it is not written anywhere. I know they usually use alpenföhn but I don't know the model.
The final configuration is
Intel Xeon E5-2640V3, 8 core, 2.6 3.4 GHz 20MB
ASRock X99 WS
32 GB ECC RAM DDR4 2133 MHz, 4 x 8 GB
512 GB SSD Samsung 850 Pro
ATI FirePro W7000, 4096 MB GDDR5
case silverstone FT02
Does anyone have experience with the new curved monitors, like the 34" LG or 34" Dell?
I'm trying to figure out if it is practical to have two or three side by side.
Right now, I have three 30" monitors and when sitting in the middle I can barely touch the edge of the left and right monitor if I put my arms out.
I am trying to figure out the angle of the curve and what that would look like from a practical use standpoint, like whether or not the image on the left or right monitor (assuming a triple monitor side-by-side setup) is really usable when at a normal distance.
When you look at the Dell from a top down view:
The curve is quite minor it would seem.
And two side-by-side of the Dell:
The Dell is listed as 32.5" in width, so 65" for two or 97.5" for three. What, if any, impact would the curve have on these measurements?

Excellent question Mike. Surprised that the specs don't detail that.
I also use 3x 30" so this would be an interesting upgrade.
Dell have them on their website for $1199 but the U3014s are still $1599 ?!?!?
One question I would have is what graphics cards would you need. I recall that when we were looking at the 4k monitors the graphics card requirements where very high. It's not 4K but it's 20% more standard 2560x1600.
