Multi-Monitor Questions

[daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

We are exploring the possibility of installing a single PC with multiple 
monitors (about ten) in a workcenter of our plant.  The workcenter has ten 
stations and the proposal is for a monitor to be at each station to 
display information about the work being done at that station.  No user 
input is required at each station.  This would likely be a Windows XP 
environment.

Questions:

1.  How would one physically attach ten monitors to a single PC?
2.  What distance limitations are there on a signal for a typical monitor? 
 Can they be overcome by additional hardware?
3.  What software or other methods are available to control that a 
particular window opens on a particular monitor?


I've worked with multiple monitors on a single PC at home, both with 
multiple video cards and with a single card controlling two monitors. That 
was in a desk setting where I could see the monitor I was dragging a 
window to.  This environment is one where you probably couldn't see all of 
the monitors from a single spot.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.
