Hey all, Im currently running a two screen system (my laptop 15" and a second flat panel 15" LCD). I would like to add another screen, prob a CRT… I know I can do this with a product called sideCar ([check it here](http://www.digitaltigers.com/sidecar.shtml)), but the express verision is $1200 (US)…

Does anyone else run or know of a different way to run a 3+ display setup?

Thanks.

Peace

Its too bad that you’d need a power plant to run all of those monitors…

hmmm… it really looks like there isnt a cheaper way of doing it… sideCar seems like the best, although the 3 screen setup from 9xMedia it a pretty good value considering it comes with the screens… I dunno ☹

**@jw06:** how are you going to set it up with your PC?

peace

The easiest way to do it with a tower pc is to have two monitors off of the agp graphics card and then run one off of a pci graphics card.

check out synergy ( [http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/](http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/) ). But you will have to run an extra machine…

I think it’s time for your first, very own server. 😉
