6 monitor setup

[Crypty]

I recently got my hands on 3 medion top of the line systems each with dual monitor outputs. What I am looking to do here is create a 6 monitor setup using all of the computers.

I know its a longshot, but I am wondering if the 3 towers can be somehow linked together to make the 6 monitors act as one gigantic monitor under 3 processors/vid cards.
If I cant do this which i am expecting, Ill just have 3 dual monitor systems on my desk anyway. I do heavy graphic design and even if I am overdoing it a bit, it cant hurt

My other question is, are there monitors that are designed for this type of thing? ie ones with very small borders (LCD) and can anyone recommend some?
Obviously I would need a way to set this up so does anyone know of any type of wall mount thing I could use to get an arrangement like this:

thanks

I remember hearing about something like that somewhere, maybe a PC Gamer magazine?

I remember they just had 3 monitors, though, but they had them all sitting so that the first one was like normal, and the 2 on the sides were slanted so that it looked as if it were "surround" view or something

But anyways, it showed the PC playing Quake 3, and it looked sweet! The display really did split up into 3 "parts" over the 3 monitors, and it looked AWESOME.

With 6 monitors, it would probably be pretty troublesome, but I'm sure it could be done SOMEHOW.

Good luck on getting that to work. Sounds like a SWEET idea! *thumbs up*

matrox parhelia makes a 128mb and a 256mb both which dual dvi\triple vga output. the 256mb runs about 550 bucks.

you don't need more than 1 computer to run 6 monitors, just add PCI video cards to 1 machine. there was a thread about a slight simulator with like 10 computers running 20 monitors or something lika that. lets see if i can dig it up.....ahh here it is:
