Things you're going to need.
Real life money (About $850)
Decent PC.
First off, you'll need to purchase an ATI HD 5xxx graphics card. These go for as little as $48 but if you're looking for a decent graphics card that'll not only play runescape then you'll need to spend a little more ($160). For exactly $159.99 you can get this: Only the registered members can see the link.
Next, your going to need THREE monitors, you heard me, three.
I'd recommend these: Only the registered members can see the link.
They're $189.99 each but at 23" they're actually a really good price.
You're also going to need one of these: Only the registered members can see the link.
These go for $129.99 each.
In the end your looking at about $859.95 - Expensive I know.
So you want me to spend $850 for a PK advantage?
Well, that isn't all it does - this is just one of the things ATI's eyefinity can do.
I ran it with three 17" screens and look at how much more I can see:
Only the registered members can see the link. (remember this isn't a very big resolution either, those 23" screens would give you an even wider view)
This video is filmed with a camera and really shows you what is capable: Only the registered members can see the link.
Conclusion
This is probably the coolest thing that you could do with $850 and although expensive, gaming over three screens is not only beneficial it's also immersive.
I've got one 22" right now and have two more on the way shortly.
