IFTA: Multi display computer monitors?

Question by : Multi display computer monitors?
Hi, I need to set up a multi screen computer for my work at home. It has to be set up a bit like this:
http://www.ventasalud.com/online-forex-trading-and-stock-trading-office-interior-design-ideas/

I am aware of how to attach another monitor to my present desktop. I have the cable for that and I just have to extend my screen. However, I do not have slots for a third/fourth or fifth monitor.

Can someone please tell me ALL the accessories I need to set up a multi display computer? Do I need a multi monitor video card? Adapter? Do I need something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Quadro-PCIE16-512MB-GDDR3/dp/B001RBE7GO/ref=sr_1_77?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1291123920&sr=1-77 ? What else?

Thank you.

A card like that is a great solution, the other is multiple graphics cards but these use a lot of power and require better cooling and you may not have the expansion slots for them.

Things to consider:

If your displays are older they may not have DisplayPort connections. You will need DisplayPort to DVI cables for each monitor. These can be had for as little as $ 5 from a store like monoprice, no need to spend more.

If you want 5 or 6 displays you may be able to just add this and keep using your current graphics card too. Issues can arise with this in Vista if your current card is not an Nvidia card due t the way in which Vista loads graphics drivers. This issue isn't present with other modern operating systems.

There are other ways to expand your number of displays, with products from companies like http://www.villagetronic.com and Matrox, but if you have the budget multiple NVS 450s would be the best choice.

From the software side you should consider using UltraMon. It is a fantastic piece of software for managing multiple displays better.
