How do you build a multiple monitor computer?

Answer 1

If you haven't already, you will need to decide on the amount of multiple monitor displays you want or need. Picking a computer before you make up your mind about your display quantity is not recommended. This is because your graphics card configuration is dependent upon how many monitors you will be running.

Once you have decided the amount of monitors you want you can then select an appropriate computer system. You want to make sure that the RAM and the graphics card are 'up to snuff' with what you need your computer to do. You also want to make sure that all of the components going into your new PC are new and top of the line. Technology is constantly advancing, you don't want any parts that may have any new upgrades or have been discontinued.

Lastly is your hard drive and operating system. Computers that are going to be operating multiple monitors should come with at least a 500 GB hard drive. A 640 GB is recommended but you can start with the 500. The operating system is up to you. Some people prefer to stay with Windows XP and others have embraced the new Windows Vista.

Be sure to do your homework on all of the components that will be going into your new multiple monitor computer. You really need to have all the right equipment to drive the amount of monitors you are running. You wouldn't try to build a motorcycle with parts from a bicycle, would you?

I had some difficulty with this when I first decided to build my own multiple monitor computer. I found the guys at Multiplexpc.com to be extremely helpful. They explained all of the components to me and what exactly they did. I ended up purchasing my computer from them because they were just so helpful. Check 'em out!
