Well, a while back I complained about nVidia's stupid drivers/cards and how to them, 'multiple' means any spiffy combination of 1 or 2 monitors.

Then I remembered MaxiVista. Talk about pwnage. (I'd blog about it more, but others have already talked it up plenty. Works great, excellent price, lots of spiffy options, etc.)

For me MaxiVista provides the perfect setup. My server, which sits under my desk, needs very little TLC or direct interaction. However, on occasion, I do need to interact with it at a very low level - i.e. pre OS, so it really needs a mouse, keyboard, and a monitor. But once it's up and running, I prefer to just RDP into it - and it's own, dedicated, monitor is effectively a paper-weight.

So, I've scooted that paper-weight over next to my laptop and secondary monitor/LCD. With MaxiVista, I've now got 3 monitors that work perfectly.

Let me tell you, I've coveted 3 monitors for a long time now. And now that I've got them, it's such a boost for my inner geek. And for the record, it looks like I'm actually using more monitors, on a daily basis, than Chloe - from 24. That should tell you something about how insanely l33t having 3 monitors is. (I also hear that in season 7 Chloe will hack a powered-down terrorist server WITHOUT the use of a RILO board...)

The one thing about 3 big, bad, LCDs however, is that I swear they're giving me a sun burn. A quick calculation the other day informed me that I've got 5.3+ million happy little pixels - all beaming radiation straight at my face. but for 4880x1200 resolution (minus the 'holes' on both of my side monitors), I'd happily wear aloe-vera/suntain-lotion every day...
