  1. We have a switch on the servers that allows us to view 4 servers on one monitor...most I can find seem to be like this, multiple computers to one monitor. Can you get one for two monitors and one PC?

    Thats a KVM switch. For dual screen you will need a gfx card with two outputs, almost all of them do now even the cheap ones so if you have a reasonably modern PC check if you already have two outputs before you buy any hardware. Then once you have it all set up use Ultramon to enable/disable the secondry screen, or leave it enabled and use Ultramon to lock the mouse to the primary monitor.

    I have tried pretty much every combination of screens and am currently running a 32" TV as the secondary. As everyone else said it is fine for TV etc, but you wouldn't want to use it as a monitor for day to day tasks, or to sit too close to it. For games it is a bit hit and miss as some games are funny about using the secondary screen and try to defualt to the primary, but generally there is some kind of work around.

  2. Porn, why else? :rolleyes:

    I found two useful for design work, but still found that I had windows overlapping and generally couldn't see everything I needed to at once. Another one would have done, but to run three monitors I needed two graphics cards, which gave four outputs, meaning one was unused and wasted. ^_^ to be honest four is overkill for me and I found that the furthest left rarely gets used as it gives me a sore neck turning all the time >_<

    To the person that asked how, the motherboard is an ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA which supports both AGP and PCI-E graphics cards, of which I am using a 7900GTX (PCI-E) and 6200 (AGP).

  3. Bit of a blast from the past, but does anyone have a copy of this they can upload?

    Fancied watching it again for inspiration, but I appear to have lost mine somewhere along the line <_<

  4. Like the desert, or the arctic, or area 51

    They would be better off not burying it though, as even if it was somewhere stupidly remote, at the very least the workmen would be witnesses.
