Hey everyone. As some of you may know I'm doing a side project dubbed 'The Monitor Wall' where I am putting 16 monitors together running off of one PC. http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/monitor-wall.202520/
However, to do this I need a motherboard capable of supporting 4 video cards. I would like to do 4x 4x 4x 1x if possible, but am not opposed to 16/8x, 4x, 1x, 1x. I have a full pci-e and an x1 card right now and am holding off buying the other cards until I can get a combo.
So I need at least a dual core CPU and a motherboard with 4 pci-e slots. AMD or Intel...would be nice if I could get something decent. Not sure how much older core 2 quads go for but even something like that. Motherboard is the main requirement.
I don't have a big budget for this since it is kind of self funded. Would like to stay in the realm of $150...might be able to do $200 at the very most but this budget isn't anywhere near large. Can trade stuff from this thread too if wanted: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...poweredge-hdd-caddies-mobo-cpu-ram-etc.202694
Heat under Tristicus. Thanks TPU!
