I am currently building a new rig. I plan to 5 box on 1 physical box but would like to go to multiple monitors. I can go to multiple computers because of space & heat/cooling issues.

I found this thread, that is kind of old but addresses what I would like to do. The IT Monkey had a shot of his setup and said this is what they are doing.

[Keyclone] PIP w/ multiple monitors

The IT Monkey said:
Works across multiple monitors and multiple video cards. It's exactly how I run it.

So, Could you post your System specs if you are still using this set up and how happy you are with it please, The IT Monkey?

If anyone else is doing this I would be interested in learning what your specs are and how happy you are with the setup and if there was anything you would change or upgrade at this point.

I was thinking of going with one 4850 to drive the main monitor and then less expensive card(s) do drive the 2nd and maybe 3rd monitor.
Anyone know how bad it would be to mix and match video card brands (ATI and NVIDIA) in the same machine? Would the drivers get along? Or am I asking for too much trouble doing that? What about different revisions of the same brand, 9800 and 8800 NVIDAs?
