Well I am so stoked beyond belief! I managed to get multi monitor working in a NON PCI-E computer. Usually to do Multi monitor with newer machines you need to use an SLI link between video boards. There are video cards that support two monitors like my Radeon 9800 Pro AGP board. Now I added a Visiontek Radeon X1300 PCI and lo and behold! FOUR MONITORS! I did this originally with an old Dell PCI 8M video card but its performance was sub standard but it did give me three monitors. Now I got four monitors PLUS and an S video to connect to a TV. That makes it FIVE monitors! That is just too frikken sweet!

What do you need 5 monitors hooked up to one PC for? Just curious!!

With three monitors I am set up to on monitor one, serious work like proposal drawings or writing. Monitor two will have a movie playing on it usually depending on what I am doing. Monitor three usually handles things like Bitmeter to monitor internet traffic information flow of my computer and other things like my Task Manager to monitor CPU loading. Think of monitor three like the speedometer and instrument cluster of a car. Having a TV hooked up to my computer allows others to watch movies from my computer and streaming media.

On rare instances I have video playback on two monitors. It helps for some of the things I do to know CPU loading and other things. People don't rally know what goes on inside a computer. Monitor three gives me an idea on demand.

Eventually I want to have a Monitor battery of nine monitors set up in a panel so I can watch a movie on a HUGE screen or have wall sized visual displays sort of in the vein of a "wall of light." The rimless monitors are the most expensive part of the whole thing. Picture a wall of 36" screens set three by three.

I think very big!

Lots of porn.

Ok, that makes sense! Didn't realize you could do that & I'm pretty computer savvy!! Learn something new every day!!!

Have you tried having separate login session (with their own keyboard & mouse) on each monitor?

Not yet. No one has asked me to do a server like that yet! It can be done for the right price! Some components to make it happen are not exactly consumer friendly price wise.

If I go cross-eyed when ONE monitor goes down I
cannot imagine if 5 were on the blink..

Dude ... why bother with 9 monitors like that? Why not at that point get yourself a HD digital projector and rock an entire wall? It'll be far more awesome and there's the side benefit of saving some money.

With this, you could call NASA your biatch:

Wow! You got me there.

Someone is WAY into their sounds!
That is a sound engineers lab. I recognize the screen displays. I actually seen a set up like this and it was for mixing Orchestras. I would LOVE to build a system like this.
