    120" worth of monitors?

    Four 30" Apple Displays on a workstation sounds like a big idea to me. Voodoo PC are flaunting the fact that their latest workstation can support so many huge monitors.
    By using two NVIDIA video cards, the user now has the capability of running up to 4 high resolution monitors, such as the new Apple 30" Cinema HD Display, simultaneously on the same PC. Voodoo combines the best processors, hard drives, and video cards available in a completely sealed liquid cooled system, eliminating distracting noise of loud fans.
    Even the system itself is hefty, sporting liquid cooling, dual Opterons, SLI and 15krpm hard disks.

    WOW!! That is a hell of a system. But what would a person do with 4 x 30 inch screens?!?! I would get the 46 " Samsung Synchmaster with a res of 1920 x 1200 IRC. This is definitely one of my dream machines to get in the next couple of years...well the versions will be upgraded by then...with multicore procs and prob 4 x SLI setups...but you know what I mean.

    But dual screen mode doesn't work when SLi is turned on does it?

    Still impressive mind you.

    Yup, single monitor on primary head only in SLI - PITA if you've got a multi monitor setup.

    A bit of a waste really...

    is it fixable through software? must be surely, although it makes you wonder why it is like it in the first place.

    Yes you turn it on and off in the control panel but you have to restart for it to take effect.

    Once more voodoopc has reminded me why I am going to blow an insane wad of cash on a computer...man their computers rock. Hexus needs to get a top of the line voodoo machine and benchmark the snot out of it and see if it actually is serious hardware for the serious cash customers pay.
