In the images below, all four displays are being driven by one Power Mac. We installed 2 ATI Radeon 9200 cards in the PCI slots besides the NVIDIA card in the AGP slot. The ATI cards don’t support the full resolution of the 30” monitors, so in this image the displays are set to a lower resolution.
Atul Nayak, Chris Garrod and Evan Morikawa look at USGS aerial photos (1 foot resolution) on the displays.

The SIO carpentry & machine shop built the mounts for this system. The VESA adapters for the 30” monitors were attached to a 2 inch block (to give the cables room to dangle) and this assembly was attached to metal plates. The metal plates were drilled into the wall. The machine shop had to enlarge the holes in the VESA adapter to use bigger screws.
