video options for a local system

Two touchscreens per video card is how it works out. I'm running my touchscreens off of a 5900. If I bought a PCI (not PCI-E) card I could run two more screens.

As long as you keep adding computers to your network, you could have a lot of touchscreens to send keystrokes to your one gaming rig.

They don't have to be high end computers either. My TB client rig is an Athlon 1800.

And this is where I wonder about the vga/usb option. It may be too much to expect that to work on a local machine, but it would be very cool to have a system that runs TB with two coming out of a video card slot, and additional ones running from the vga/usb dongles.

I think I may still start with one local first to get a feel for it.
