That was my first thought as well. I assume it could have been a kroket. I am sometimes tempted to drive to Holland just to get a bunch of those, but it's a 3 hour drive.

>>Hi all,
>>
>>Last weekend I received my last pieces of the puzzle and could finally build my 6 monitor setup.
>>
>>Unfortunately the ride was not as smooth as I hoped it to be.
>>
>>First I received the Dell p2219H monitors. Since the price was a bargain (approx. 100 euro excl VAT per monitor) , I ordered 8 of them. 6 for me and 2 for my wife.
>>The videocard was next. But I had to send back the cables as there was an error on the website. I needed mini DP to DisplayPort but I got mini DP to HDMI. So after two day I got the right cables.
>>
>>The stand was delivered at the wrong address, but thanks to order and delivery tracking I could pick it up next day.
>>
>>Then I wanted to get the videocard (Sapphire GPRO 4000) to work but refused to do it in my old PCI Express 2.0 slot. In My son's PC with a PCIe 3.0 it worked, so I decided to order a new one (the old one was about 7 years old, so I had to replace that sooner than later anyways). I now got a ACER NITRO with an I5, 16GB ram and 512 GB NVME SSD for little over 870 (excl VAT), so that was not too bad. It had a reasonable NVIDIA graphics card which I "sold" to my son and placed the Shapphire card into the computer.
>>
>>However it was a pain to get it to work. It would not (and still does not) show the starting of the PC and windows. Only once windows is fully loaded it will start to display. I still have to research as of why.
>>
>>Putting up the stand was quite hard. In order for the monitors to be perfectly aligned. you need to use a plumb rule to make sure the arms are perfectly horizontal.
>>Mounting the monitors in itself is easy enough, but making the monitors perfectly aligned is and was painful. Its reasonable now, even though I'd like to spend some time on it this weekend to make it perfect.
>>
>>Another thing I did not account for was that the stand places the monitors quite a bit forward (10cm) compared to my old settings, so I might be a bit close to the screen. It might mean I have to get a new desk to solve this.
>>
>>I have been working with the setup for 2 days now and I must say overall I'm very happy. I can change resolutions of individual screens and navigating from one screen to another is great. It is really easy to get used to the amount of real estate. If I get bored I'll put up TV or youtube on one of the screens and work away.
