Exclamation Need a Solution: Running 5 Video Displays off 1 PC - possible?

I need to setup a PC to run 5 Plasma screen TV's with the output coming from monitoring software on a PC. Is it possible to use a PC with 1 dual video support AGP card + 3 PCI video cards for additional extension of the desktop - to spread the desktop across 5 outputs?

Also will i run into any attenuation issues with cabling lengths if the cables exceed a certain length?

Thx

There are 3 & 4 head AGP cards out there as well. Take a look at what Matrox has to offer.

And yes, you'll run into many issues with cable length. You'll need line amplifiers for anything over 50 feet (RGB & S-Video) - not sure when DVI starts to crap out.
