    Any desktop with two pci slots and two Matrox G450x4 cards would do. Don't expect great performance out of it though.

    Think i'll have to go to a professional computer person for advice on it.. I wouldn't know a heck of a lot about it myself..

    Your speaking to one.

    What setup are you doing?
    Why do you need eight monitors, what type of monitors are they, what will you be displaying on the monitors?

    There are some USB gadgets that will do the trick. but theyre not cheap or anything. 40-120 euro in most cases. Go with the Matrox adapters.
