So I'm going for a 3x2 setup. I have 3 Dell S2309W's and am going to get 3 more (yay ebay).
I have enough now to get 2 out of 3, should I go ahead and buy them now, or wait to get all 3 at once?

Also, to accommodate these monitors I'm buying 2 DP->DVI adapters and 4 DP->VGA adapters from monoprice.

The other thing is that I getting 3 Monoprice Dual Monitor Mounts (1x2). Is the a "All-in-One" solution under $100 for a Hex Setup?

Finally, I'm having to sell my 4870 to get everything, so does anyone know when the "ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition" Comes out? (They really need to shorten that name to like 5876)

is this the "all in one" set up you mean ?

I wonder if you cant use the monitor brackets from

to have 6 total ..but I dont think they'd fit across(those 2309 are 21 inch across?)and the bracket is 39 inches wide

Can you explain or link the "All in One" solution you're considering.

i dont know what your budget is, but itd be pretty cool to have 3 of these

Those are expensive, I can get 3 more of mine for less than $500.

thats pricey :o

are you stuck on getting 6? the cursor in the bezel would not be fun. i would really just use 3.

I'd definitely give five screen portrait a shot before trying a 3x2 array... not much help I know. :(

I was wanting a 5x1. but i has no desk space for it. And since I'm still living in my 'rents house (I'm 17 woot) I don't see me expanding anywhere but UP. So, I might just just buy a 5870 and call it a day (Sold my 32" yesterday woot).

Looking at your screens dimensions, 3 in landscape is 13.5 inches narrower than 5 in portrait so it isn't a huge desk space growth (if you can afford 7" per side"

I'm hitting the wall on one side and the other i have a desk, but it dips down about 5 inches.
