I just found another 20" monitor, so I looked up some guides on configuring X to span the desktop, and it only took me about 10 minutes of messing around with my config files to get it working :D So I'm now running dual 20" monitors on my computer, spanning my desktop across them both :D :D

I think Windows can do up to 16, Linux as far as I know is virtually unlimited. Keep in mind the kind of hardware you'd need to power 16 monitors, I don't think motherboards are made to hold that many cards yet, even if each one could power 2. Oh, and I'm running on 1280x1024, that'd be a total of 2560x1024. I'm thinking about going to 1600x1200 (3200x1200), that'd be awesome too :yes:

My goal is to have 4 setup in a boxish fashion in a couple of years.
