Dual monitors

Never really been bothered to connect more than 1 monitor up to my box even though I've got 4 shitty monitors lying around. So thought I'd give it a whirl.
Had to configure/resize a few apps but it's quite nice.

Anyone else use 1+ monitors?

Download and install Ultramon if you haven't already got it, it's brilliant for dual monitors.
