Four screens on one PC

When I first saw the Matrox Extio F1400 I immediately pictured this in Eric Mack's digital sandbox. He's been looking for high-resolution graphics to hook up to his Tablet PC and the Matrox certainly fits that description. The Extio F1400 is a remote graphics unit (RGU) that supports adding up to 4 external monitors to a single computer. The user interface of the computer (monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc) are connected to the PC through fiber optic cable for convenience and speed.

Features:

• User devices can be separated from computer by up to 250 meters (820 feet) of fiber-optic cable
• Support for up to 4 digital or analog monitors at a time (in "independent"* or "stretched" mode)
• Passive cooling (heat sink with no fan) for silent operation and extra reliability
• 6 USB 2.0 ports (downward compatible with USB 1.x) for keyboard, mouse, and other USB peripherals (4 in front and 2 in back)
• Integrated audio hardware
• Multi-function audio-output connector for an optical-S/PDIF signal or analog-stereo signal
• Standard stereo-audio connectors (microphone, stereo-line-in, and stereo-line-out)
• PCI and PCIe (PCI Express) fiber-optic interface cards (sold separately)
• 1600 x 1200 maximum resolution per display *
• Matrox UltraSharp Display Output Technology
• Unified display drivers for Matrox Extio products and QID graphics cards
• Easy-to-use Matrox PowerDesk display driver interface
• Matrox Clone to view a copy of one display on the other displays

Eric, when you get it installed I would love to play with it. :)
