so how exactly does one do that?

I have a few spare monitors in my house, do I need a special program? Is each monitor hooked up to a unique cpu?

Wow. I'm impressed. I was thinking of going to three - it seems I keep running out of Real Estate.

As I understand it, the XP OS can handle up to 7 monitor cards. I count 13 monitors and they obviously are tied into one system. Does he have 7 dual-head cards?!?

A dual head video card is the easiest way. Beware nvidia cards prior to GeForce 3, however, since their implementation sucks. You can also add a secondary PCI card, but some PCI vid (Matrox and some earlier ATi) cards don't care to be secondary and may sometimes require some bios tweaking.

This setup (13 Monitors) was done with a program called Wideview.

I already have a radeon 9700pro and use 2 monitors with that. So you just keep adding video cards to the PCI slots and you can get a set up like that?

My games already slow down when I have 2 monitors, so I'm guessing that you need a lot more power to run that many smoothly. How do you hook up all those comps?

if you look below the desks, you will see no less than 7 cases (and there may be more that you cant see). im guessing seven total systems, each with a dual head vidcard, probably a LAN.

cool setup though.

Jesus fuck! Think of the power bill.

I still wish I could ever afford such a set up though.

Man, I hate that shit.
We've got 6 different monitors for each station in our NOC at work
Layered 3 x 2.
It confused the hell out of me.

Give me one BIG monitor.

soop, thats not a seat belt, its some sort of strap/harness to hold the joystick in proper position for playing the sim.

I wonder how he got that to work in windows? I'm pressuming since it's MS Flight simulator that it's not Linux. I thought the max monitors windows supported was 8. Does that limit increase when it's dual view card.

If he's doing it with the other comps, I wonder how he got the image from one prog to be outputted through the other comps.

Really cool.

**EDIT**

Nevermind. Read slashdot and saw he's using Wideview software and that he's using both XP and Win98. Cool

lol - bit obsessive.

I'd kill myself laughing if the owner of that fine array of monitors sat down to start playing and the console displaying the airplane instrumentation died.
