The cost of the monitors were about 300 each, they are less than that now, but the stand was around 500+. I can't remember the exact cost, not cheap but very well built. All steel construction. Heavy when all the monitors are attached. I may be setting up another station in my house, that one will run 2 monitors, haven't decided on 17 or 19 inch, but I will most likely run 17 inch. I prefer separate monitors.

Tim, I trade heavily so I run a workstation with a Matrox quad monitor video card and four LCD's. These cards are expensive, they run $700-$800 for the card, but you can do 3-4 monitors on the cheap if you like without even opening your existing machine. Matrox makes boxes called 'DualHead2Go' and 'TripleHead2Go'. They are small external video processors that allow you to run 3-4 monitors if you are using a laptop, and 2-3 if using a desktop. I think the double runs around 150 bucks, and it comes in analog and digital versions. You can check these out at: matrox.com Regards, John
