Three monitors without expansion chassis?

[mtung]

I have an HD3 system and no card slots available. Is there such a thing as a three head video monitor card? Any other ways to get more screens?

Check this out. The only problem is you need a PC to set it up... But once its set up, you can use it with mac no problem. The monitors have to support the same resolution as well.

It works very well for me.

That is cool. I have an extra Dell 2405 I could add (1920x1200 x 3 LCDs).

What resolution can you go up to with a stock Mac Pro and 3 monitors with this product?

Basically, this unit adds up all three screens and treats them as one, so it gives you like 3840 x something basically 1280 x3 which is where I have them, you have to sort of tweak with it to get it correct...Sometimes its annoying in the space between monitors it will get fuzzy or misalign the image--

But, whats cool is you can use your second output to set up a fourth monitor, I have this one in the vocal booth so I can slide over lyrics or any other visuals I want the artist to see.

I'm pretty sure that you can only have 3 if you are running at a max of 1680x1050 or 2 if running at 1920x1200 with that unit. I was checking it out about a week ago and I wanted to run 3 at 1920x1200 and it didn't look like I could. Granted, you could run 2 off that unit and then another off the second display port on the Mac Pro, but for my situation I was planning on running a total of 4 at 1920x1200.
