Nickycakes Added 3″ to His Length and Width For Free
If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that Nickycakes has needed a new monitor for a long ass time. In fact, next month he was thinking about shelling out a few extra bucks for a new one. That was until last week when good buddy Yi Lu from http://www.findmeseo.com sent him a message about a 20″ flatscreen he was replacing.
Long story short, the thing came in the mail today from DHL complete with a metric fuckton of packing peanuts. So the Cakes threw it up side-by-side with his old 17 incher and is currently living in the new and exciting world of dual-monitor heaven.
The Nvidia card has decent support for dual monitors, however, to get things running right, you gotta install http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/. It adds a bunch of cool stuff like an extra taskbar for the secondary monitor and is workin’ pretty well.
Thanks for the hookup man, good lookin out. Keep it real.
Nice notepad mousepad =D
Now all you need is a new desk
yeah no kidding
I have to agree, Ultramon is great. I don’t even know what half the other features are, I just like the extra taskbar and being able to minimize programs running on one screen to the taskbar on that screen.
Hey, I use a notepad for a mousepad, too – I’ve done it for years. Makes it easy to jot down notes.
Keep the good posts coming. I’m enjoying them and learning a bunch.
I love the keyboard brother!
You are hardcore…..your setup is so ghetto, I love it. The folding table totally makes it work

HAHAH, nice work man!
Warning: Once you get used to the 2 monitor setup, you can’t go back!!!!

Visit my blog to see how you can add 3″ to your LENGTH AND GIRTH!
But seriously, you need to set-up dual monitors (equal sizes). Once you go dual…. we’ll, you’re always cool?
awesome setup dude! hey… is that one of those new 19″ TVs in the bg?
I’m throwing out some old furniture… want me to send?
you always catch hell from your readers. it’s funny. you’re site design sucks, you’re pad is ghetto, even you’re mouse pad catches grief. good stuff!
UltraMon rules, totally agree! Been using it for a couple years now.
WOW, the 2 monitor setup really rocks.
I am planning to get one in March.
Also please get a new desk.
“But seriously, you need to set-up dual monitors (equal sizes)”
Actually, some widescreens pair really well with standard monitors. A 24″ Widescreen (1920×1200) lines up really nicely next to a 20″ standard (1600×1200). A 22″ widescreen (1680×1050) should line up nicely with a 19″ standard (1280×1024).
I’m at three monitors right now in my tiny home office/closet (24″ center for coding, 20″ right for browsing/testing, 17″ left for email/itunes). The wife thinks I’m crazy, but it’s kick ass productive.
