ATI make quad head video cards. If you do not need fancy graphics, the cost is very reasonable. the easiest thing is to get a multi head card, with keyboard and mouse ports for each monitor port, if they are still manufactured. If not, get dual head cards complete with mouse and keyboard ports. http://www.multiplemonitors.org/Pages - Hardware/Hardware - Multi head Video cards.html Or you might want to consider an open hardware board, complete with video chip as an extremely low power/cost option. My favorite is: http://www.pandaboard.org/ gentoo runs on this board --> http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/ (see ch9 under boards) hth, James
