Modding Six Monitors!?

I was going home from work the other day an saw 6 moniters sitting in the garbage, I thought i might be able to use them for something why not pick them up? Into the car and home to find out that all 6 are in perfect workng order. Does anyone have any ideas on what I should do with them?

 

Programming/development? 2 monitors really isn't enough for heavy-duty coding.

 

Or web design.
Buy a duel output video card a two matrox triple head adapters and build a video wall.

 

I shouldn't have thrown them out :[

flight simulator?


:]

 

any ideas as to how to get this set up? i couldnt get flight sim2004 to work with 2 monitors using my pny fx5200 (old but does the job ~ kinda) let alone the 12 or 13 being used in that setup!

And as to what to do with them - use one with a video of a fire and chuck it in a fire place. Setup a dual or tripple display system for yourself and sell the ones left

 

Buy a load of adapters from matrox and chain them to gether.

 

Note the huge pile of node pc's under the desk More then one is powering all that monitor violence

 

yea but im assuming he/she dnt have 12/13 pcs to run the lot? must be like 1 pc to 2 monitors or somethin, but i cant get even 2 views to come up in flight sim!

 

I'm positive you can run many monitors off one pc, check into what AJB2K3
said.

 

Ya ive only got one computer to run them off unfortunatly i like the idea of chaining those splitters hmmm, give me a few ideas.

You can spend a bit of cash getting the matrox chain together, otherwise try ebay for some cheap dual heading GFX cards.

I got myself a cheap 4mb 3dfx dual header (childish moment, hehehe, so funny) and it works fine.

My system i've got four, my 19" LCD and my 19" CRT, a small lilliput and my TV. I've got them on 3 GFX cards. If I got another PCI-E card I could have 4 monitors and then use a 2 headed GFX card for another 2 monitors.

Total I could infact have 10 monitors on my system if I max out my PCI slots, um.... the thought of that

PS Conclusion, I would just get a cheap dual headed card of ebay and hook up the 2 monitors and that way you've got 3 on there which TBH is more thsn enough for the normal person (FYI im not normal )

what about this

 

just g3t an asrock 939dual-sata2. The uli 1695 has tripple grapics interface. You can run three graphic cards at the same time (pci,agp,pci-e).

 

get a vga splitter box thing, that splits to 5 or so (one at my place does anyway)

 

i want a setup like that

 

there aweome boardsa arnt they!

ive got one at the moment, and ive seen one it a PCI-e, AGP, and two dual head PCI cards.

8 screens.

sorted

 

Maybe just set them up in a circle, with the screens facing each other, and turn them on to irradiate any food you may want to preserve, or reconstitute spoiled food into edible stuffs again!

 

all i know is if you put 6 crt monitors in the same room you are going to cook

 

This is what you need unfortunately it's a bit expensive
You can always get a 4 monitor one and keep 2 spare lol
