Hm, thats a good idea, but over the summer when i can make money (student : O) i think im gonna go all out and buy me at least 2 LCD monitors, id like 3 though. but 2 will have to do.

Watch out for cheap 3rd party ATI cards like the Radeon VE. Some have the 2nd VGA output on a stupid piece of cheap ribbon cable instead of being shielded cable. It makes the 2nd output all crap and umm GF2 like. :D Still, for an ultra cheap solution I was happy, as I only use the 2nd output for running a full screen terminal emulator at 640x480. :bleh:
