How do I connect 6 Monitors to Dell XPS desktop to watch 6 stock charts at a time?

[georgetok]

Hi,

Just bought a new Dell XPS 8300 Desktop PC from with following specs.

The purpose of this PC is to watch 6 stock charts at a time on 6, (24 inch, 1080p) Monitors.
I don’t play games but watch Video sometimes.

I would like to connect as many monitors as possible but at least 6 if possible

Can you guys tell me how to do that & what other hardware changes like video cards, cables ( Type, Brand ) etc. do I need to make ?


Dell XPS 8300

i7-2600 Processor (3.4GHz, 8MB Cache)

Chipset Intel® H67

8GB DDR3 SDRAM 1333MHz Memory

NVIDIA GeForce GT530 1GB GDDR3 (VGA/HDMI/DVI) Video Card.

Windows - 7 Ultimate ( 64 bit )


Thank you all.

Either use several graphics cards. Or use a graphics card supporting 6 monitors.

For example, PowerColor ATI Radeon HD5870 2 GB DDR5 6x Mini-DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card AX5870 2GBD5-M6D can support up to 6 displays using a single enabled ATI Radeon graphics card with Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating systems. The number of displays may vary by board design and you should confirm exact specifications with the applicable manufacturer before purchase.
Also note that to enable more than two displays, additional panels with native DisplayPort connectors, and/or DisplayPort compliant active adapters to convert your monitor's native input to your cards DisplayPort or Mini-DisplayPort connector(s), are required.

Systems using multiple ATI Radeon graphics cards can support a maximum of 8 displays (total across all cards in system) with a maximum 6 of those displays being used together in a display group (also known as a single large surface mode).

Or if you have any spare PC's around (i know i have collected a ton over the years), use 3 boxes with standard graphics cards to control 2 screens each, and daisy chain them with Synergy http://stream-recorder.com/forum/sho...ed=1#post32463 to enable the use of a single mouse and keyboard.

Potentially far cheaper if you have the hardware hanging around already.
