Help Setting up a Multiple Monitor/Workstation area for my Office?

So I am finally getting a house with a room I can use as an office. I want a setup where I have one monitor in the middle and a stack of two monitors on each side. I hate tabs and have so many things going that it is impossible to stay organized on one or two monitors.

Are there companies out there that can build something for me. I havent figured out the best way to do this - one keyboard/mouse? Multiple workstations? Any help would be nice.

Thanks

Something like this?



I recommend one keyboard, one mouse. If you need to control another computer, remote desktop into it.

The biggest defining issue will be the graphics card. I use ATI FirePro 2450s. It allows for 4 monitors in one PCI x16 slot.

The computer itself is a Z230 (or so) workstation I buy from HP Business outlet. http://www.hp.com/sbso/buspurchase_refurbished.html

For monitor mounts, I use these: http://www.monoprice.com/Product?p_i...FQQWHwod_FQAOQ

That is exactly what I want. What size are your monitors, and is the computer fast enough to run a lot of programs (SEO programs). I see video editing on one of the monitors.

Monitors are 23" dell 2310e 1980x1080

The computer is a Hp z220 i7 with 32gb ram + ssd. I bought i7 shell from HP business outlet, added graphics card, increased ram and an ssd

The catch is the graphics card is underpowered for things like gaming. I can play 1080p movies no problem.

If you want to run seo programs, why not buy powerful workstation and rdp into that? I have a dell poweredge running VMware esxi that runs my sandbox, spy tools, security suite, PBX, and home automation package

What you see in the top screen is a surveillance program.
