multimonitors on one computer

[Guest]

I am looking to have one computer with 8 monitors.
How I know, Windows 98 and up support up to 8 monitors.
I did build system with 4 monitors, but limitation with number of PCI slot not allow to put more monitors.

DOES ANYBODY KNOWS HOW TO INCREASE NUMBER OF PCI SLOT ON COMPUTER WITHOUT CHANGING MOTHERBOARD ???

IS ANY EXTERNAL HARDWARE EXIST TO ADD MORE VIDEO CARD ???

I will appriciate any advice and segestion.

Thank you, AG

My guess would be to use 4 cards that support dual monitors. Why do you need 8 monitors? What was the performance hit for using 4 displays?

I need 8 monitors for trading system.
I can have only one CPU per account with data provider.

Thank you for reply.

You can get an External PCI Bay like this:

Also, you can just get a USB to VGA Adapter or a USB to DVI Adapter at link below:
