PIC

Pretty sure it's real and yes you can.
How else do you think they have an array of plasma tv screens showing one image, Big Brother style?

 

[sladehk]

But wouldn't the software have to be specifically made to suit such a weird placement of screens?

 

[Rafy]

Notice there are 7 computers

there are 2 monitors connected to each

 

[SashatheMan]

they must be networked and somehow all work together. wierd

 

[SashatheMan]

thats wicked. whats the site.

so i still dont get how u gonna attack three monitors to a compurter?

 

[AntiHyper]

Whow.. You gotta have at least 6 independent graphics card to do that!
Assuming each card has 2 monitor ports since it's the most common.
I don't think any single mother board can be made home for 6 cards, let alone graphics cards.
The guy even has foot pads in order to control the rudder. Thats awesome!!
I bet he can put some fans in front of him to give the impression of wind when flying on an open cockpit

EDIT: Lol the website has the trade mark "UltraMon" sounds like it came from pokemon
Also, I reckon it's best to have TFT monitors inspite of the behemoth CRT monitors

 

[Rafy]

I'm planning on getting a second monitor around christmas.....problem is sony dosent make mmy current TFT monitor anymore, so ill have to get a different ype. Thats a bum as it would look kind of wierd

 

[SashatheMan]

that would be so cool in racing games, cockpit style.

some people use multiscreens for video editing too, because there is alot of windows open.

 

[ReaveR]

What the hell how come everyone's quoting people that have posted after them? o_0

Edit: I'm in love with the Dell setup Looks like 20" Widescreens...$800 each here

 

[ReaveR]

Moving server to America eh, for a minute I thought you all had special powers.

yeh . try using FLash MX and haivng all the components on the screen , u have like a stamp size abotu of board left. Multi scrrens would be excellent for that reason

that set up with the flight simulator wouldnt cost that much

their only cheapo crt 17 inch moniters their like 30 bucks second hand 14 of them are like $420 running of 7 low standard comps with ok graphics cards that can read 2 moniters around 400 a comp for like 3220 you can have a 14 moniter set up, Its not a real expensive hobby, on overclockers forums a few people have 17 inch lcds in sets of 4 their a bit more

 

[SashatheMan]
