Put together 12 Monitor System but need help managing them


Recommended Posts

I have put together 12 monitor system & everything seems to be working fine except I need help detecting & identifying & managing 12 monitors & get them to do what I built it for.

I have built this system for stock market trading & I will be running a main application that has 12 windows which I can detach & put each of them on a separate monitor.

I am running windows-7 ( 64 bit ) & other specs are as follows.

It is a Dell Workstation T -7500 which I upgraded with Custom Graphics cards to do necessary tasks.

Intel Xeon E5645 @ 2.4 GHz

It has 3 ATI FirePro 2460 Video cards each of them have 4 output ports & thus handles 12 monitors in total.

I2 GB DRR3 ECC RAM

12 Identical Dell ( U2412M ) 24 inch monitors ( 1920X1200 )

Here is what I have now & what I would like it to do.

I have arranged 12 monitors in two rows of six each.

Windows-7 identifies 12 monitors but labels only 10 monitors with numbers 1 to 10 & shows two monitors without numbers in display property. ( See attachment )

They are given random 12 numbers in each row & I can?t rearrange them starting with number one in bottom right corner & number 12 in Top right corner.

I am having trouble locating mouse in each monitor. I would like to point the mouse cursor in any monitor at will which I can?t do now.

I would like to detach & drag 12 windows from main application to the desired monitor.

I am willing to Buy any special multi monitor software if you guys know that can do the job.

Thanks much in advance.

Funny I came across this thread because I am trying to do the same thing myself with a 10 monitor setup. My question is are there any other cheaper graphics cards that have 4 outputs? I don't need them to be powerful because I am only running a presentation in powerpoint.

Based on the screenshots of the control centre it looks super easy to setup if all monitors are the same.

Although tbh, I dont understand why all the monitors arent sitting side by side on the windows monitor setup if they are all teh same size and res. weird
