One of the pieces of hardware that I have access to is a display wall of 12 monitors. I always think that it would be nice to have one workstation drive all 12 monitors instead of having a cluster do the work. Enter ATI’s Eyefinity6. With 6 monitor outputs, I could place two of them in one workstation and theoretically run 12 monitors. There are some possible caveats, of course. I am not sure Linux can handle that many displays.  I may be limited more by the CPU than I am by the GPU.  I would need to buy 12 new monitors that can handle DisplayPort. Still, it would be interesting to try and see if it would work. Thus, every so often I go out and search the web for news of ATI’s Eyefinity6 model of graphics card. It has been awhile since I last searched, so I overlooked this news report that one model showed up on Ebay. I will save you the trouble of translating the web page:

Now, however, seems to be a pre-release appeared to be model of this card.  A seller on eBay offering to the graphics card for the price of the equivalent of 630 euros.  Since the card does not yet seem to be final, is not known where it came from.

To use the Eyefinity6, you could buy Dell displays with their thick bezels for $250 apiece, or you could purchase the thin-bezel displays from Samsung. Six-screen configurations of the Samsung SyncMaster MD230 will cost $3,099, while three-screen configurations cost $1,899.
