So I am in a position where I think I can convince my company to provide me with a three monitor setup for my PC. Ive never actually set this up before though - only ever a dual monitor setup. So other than three monitors, and a video card that can handle 3 monitors, is there anything else I need or should be wary of?

You should be very wary of the level of my jealousy.

I just ordered a new PC from Dell for one of my employees (video editor).

Two (2) Quad-Core Xeon 2.0 processors
Two (2) Dual-Head PCIe x16 video cards (Up to 4 monitors!!!)
4 gigs RAM
Etc.

8 processors and 4 monitors should be more than enough for anyone.

PS - It only cost about $2800 - not a bad price for that setup!!!

PS - Get one of these... a buddy of mine has it and loves it!

If you don't want an extra graphics card there's a triple head adaptor from Matrox, but that alone probably costs more than alot of graphics cards, I just had a look and they're going for around £150-180.

Having 3 monitors is great, I wouldn't want to go back to 2 on my main computer.
