With 19" and 21" monitors pretty spendy, has anyone given thought to running about 4 of these EL-CHEAPOS's?. Wondering if the 300a, BH6, win/98 has enought HORSE POWER,to run 4?. Or are the I/O controller cards spendy also?

The BH6 has the horsepower but NOT a good idea IMO. You could use the AGP and three PCI slots or a multimonitor card.

I only use 14 in monitors when I am forced to due to space limitations. I would not consider anything less than a 17 in monitor for standard applications at todays price points unless you are really strapped for cash. The monitor is too important.

A 17 in monitor with a virtual resolution setup would be a first step IMO. Then add your second and third monitors and cards as $ permit. You can build a multimonitor system over time with a single video cards. Multimonitor cards are expensive. (Win95 supports quality virtual resolution, I have not seen decent virtual resolution in Win98)
