Them Matrox G200 Quad's look interesting! Found them in the UK for £25 Just PCI too, so I guess you could put 2 of them in any old pc and have up to 8 screens?!?! What is the software configuration like?

Because this uses splitters does that mean you can only get 2 independent displays over 4 monitors?

6 old CRT monitors, 3 cheap graphics cards with two outputs each and a motherboard that can handle 3 graphics cards.

:shrug:

I thought nowadays those CRT monitors can only be found in museums.

I've got 2 CRTs in storage just incase I need a backup.

He said cheapest, I'm sure you can find 6 old monitors that people want to give away for free. Nothing's cheaper than free.



Though desk space may be an issue.

I've found some white vans give pretty good deals.

And weight is a problem for them. Not portable at all.
Back on those days when I had to clean the desk, it was very irritating to move those bulky monitors and placing them once again.
