They usually go for a bit more.... make sure to get cables. If you have to buy them separately, you'll be surprised at the cost.

http://stores.ebay.com/Hyper-Microsystems_Video-Cards_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQftidZ1QQtZkm is it possible to run 2 of these cards in one computer to make 4 monitors for under a 100.00
You can run more monitors than 4. If you have 2 free PCI slots and get 2 dualhead Matrox cards (G200 PCI?), that will work and for less than $100.
going off the subject a bit.. - there are a good number of posts here about mult-monitor setups but not many on the newer 42+ displays - the costs seem to be nearing parity, i.e. per square inch of "screen real estate" - what are the negatives with these bigger screens vs multi-monitor (on the positive side, i count at least no need to deal with graphics cards etc.).
gnome, Do you still have any monitor cards remaining from when you last bought a bunch for ET'ers? If so, what brand & model, price, and best use?
Thanks I already have a dual monitor card so if I run a another that is g200 then I can run 6 on one computer is there any amount of memory and anything else that would limit the amount of monitors?
