[mythtv-users] Need a PCI Express x1 serial adapter

[Dean Collins]

Wow can you really drive 8 monitors from a single PCIe card?

( 4 x pci graphics cards (eg 2 vga ports per card)

 

Would be perfect for a hallway of monitors  photo display idea I want to
build.

This is getting completely off-topic, but I'm a little surprised that
there isn't a PCI express card that has a PCI Express to PCI bridge, and
a cable that goes to an external box with, perhaps, 4 PCI card slots.


You mean like this?  ;-)

I found this about a year ago when I was looking for something else...
It would be more attractive if the price wasn't so high...
