Wondering what additional adapters, etc, I'll need to make 3 of these:

HP w2207h -- (VGA / HDMI)

Work for Eyefinity on that card (SAPPHIRE FleX 100312FLEX Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity.) --
1 x HDMI DisplayPort
2 x Mini DisplayPort DVI
2 x DVI (1 Single Link, 1 Dual Link)

I'm not 100% sure about this but it looks like it should work -

One will go direct hdmi - hdmi http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

and you'll need a small dvi - dsub (vga) connector to connect the vga cable from the monitor to the dvi on the card (assuming it is vga on both ends).

If you don't have any cable for the monitor then 1 of these (DVI to HDMI) will do - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...


edit - changed a bit.

All you'll need is:

1 DVI cable
1 DVI-HDMI cable (or DVI cable with DVI-HDMI adaptor)
1 HDMI cable

Done!

You don't need to touch the mini displayports with that card.

Hm yes you are almost correct, but he needs 2 DVI - HDMI cables instead of 1?

So 1 HDMI - HDMI and 2 DVI - HDMI (1 is supplied with the card so he'll need 1 more). It depends on what cables he has for the monitors right now, whether those small adaptors will do or whether he needs to buy cables.
