It would be cool for racing games and flight sims if they supported those ridiculous resolutons gameplaywise. That is if you like those sort of games.

My friend got this, I tried it out once and it is really cool, the first hour. After that it feels like playing on a regular monitor, but if you take away the other two monitors, you will see the diffrance again.

That combined with TrackIR head-movement sensing would be outrageous in GTR2!

That isn' t anything special. Good video cards now days have dual outputs. You don' t need some special adapter to hook up 3 dinky monitors to one computer.
If you have an onboard graphics card and a real graphics card you can hook up 3 monitors like that no problem.
You could have 2 graphics cards and hook up 4 monitors. ViewSonic makes special stands so you can have a 2x2 grid of monitors or 3 horizontaly and a bunch of different stuff.
At home I had my computer hooked up to a 22" , 19" and a 17" at the same time.
My roomate has a 30" (3860x1200) with a 21" (1600x1200) set up on its side right next to it. We hooked a computer up to a 65" and 56" DLP 1080p tvs at once.

Both the nVidia and ATI drivers let you set stuff up like this no problem. With options for treating it as one screen, displaying the same thing and a bunch of other stuff.

I bet all that stuff costs a pretty penny.

Too rich for my blood.
