    Do you guys know if running this test with dual monitors would take away from the GPU score? Also does 19755 seem low for 2x285's?

    Fawler has that "case" he likes it but you need to keep lots of canned air on hand as you'll get dust all over the components. Even more so if you're a smoker.
