2. MiniDP > Adapter (Active MiniDP to DVI) > Samsung 24" monitor (2nd)
3. HDMI > Sony 32" LCD TV (3rd)

Very nice!

I like how you have the computer hooked up the the wall-mounted screen. I am thinking of doing that once I get my 6870 and plugging it into my main monitor on my desk and plugging into my TV via HDMI so I can watch my downloaded movies or plays games on the bigger screen. Nice job! Will have to bookmark this once my build ships

Thanks I'm pretty damn happy I have to say.

Good luck getting your system going!
If I can help let me know. Note that you definitely
need an "active" miniDP to DVI adaptor, passive
didn't work at all.

You dont need any of that 48xx stuff

That is great. Can you tell me what MiniDP to DVI adapter you purchased. I have been reading some on this and there seems to be mixed results depending on the DP adapter.

Thanks!

It's made by Accell. Works fine with Lion too.
