I do not, DJ, but that's exactly what I want. Any recommendations as far
as video card setup? I was thinking two identical 1X PCI Express cards

That's what we use…
We have 4 total outputs, but have only configured 3 for actual use.
And yes, it's a single desktop, I can open an xterm as large as all three monitors..
