I hear ya. It is a challenge for me as well - I don't totally understand what I am talking about either - I gotten used to that tho. My case is rather compact, it's a LAN/HTPC/ATX form factor type. Double graphics cards is going to be a tight fit, I beleive. I'm excited to step things up however and can't wait to get everything ordered and installed!

This may work with my current DVI to HDMI cable, but I doubt it.

Currently I'm running my monitor off VGA (through a KVM switch) and the TV through a DVI to HDMI cable (cheap from monoprice.com). I'm going to try upgrading the KVM to a DVI version, since I use my 24" monitor for work and play with a wireless keyboard and mouse (try making THAT work through a KVM switch!)

I don't run my TV in clone mode, so I'm not sure if that would be a problem with my setup, and I don't run video off the motherboard. In any case, my new PC will be totally different, and has the capability to run 2 (or 3) video cards in SLI mode.

OK, geek mode off. I don't really know half of what I am talking about. I just read the web and find somebody that has already worked out the bugs and do the same!

Good luck to both of us.
