Once you have two, you're never going back. I think the next milestone is to buy another two identical ones and having them suspended above my current two.

Two different brand video cards. One card is a Diamond S9250 business level card that is marketed to people that want multiple monitors but aren't running high resolution graphics. The other card is a RADEON X800GT. Out of the Diamond card I am running one digital and one analog output both at 1280 x 1024. Out of the Radeon I am running one digital output that splits into two DVIs that I then convert one over to analog both of which are also running 1280x1024. Getting to this setup was a lot of trial and error and a few headaches. I followed all of teh steps that are posted in the article as well. I also use Ultramon and had to use some of the settings in there to help me out. I wish I took notes on what exactly I did because it is going to be a pain to repeat the process if I ever have to.

I love it. Some people call it excessive, I call it fun. It took some wrangling to get 4 working together but it was worth it. My boss is jealous and keeps hinting that he wants me to set him up with 4 monitors because my 4 is better than his 3. My work setup is 4 19″ monitors. I love it.

I'm sure I have a graphics card laying around somewhere, its just whether I have a spare monitor. Great idea, I might give this a go at the weekend.
