I would like to setup three or four monitors on my computer. I want the screens to have individual properties but also be connected in a panoramic fashion. Can I add more video cards or should I get a ready made unit that supports several monitors? If so, where's a good place to look for one?

You might have better luck in the Tech forum with this question. You can find it here.

You could get something like Matrox triplehead2go, unless you want to get a video card that supports 3-4 monitors out of the box. I would suggest the triplehead2go or something similar if you're planning on using it for gaming, that way you can just get a very powerful video card and not have to worry about how many external monitors it supports.

I tried building my own multi-screen computer but I got a lot of crashes etc.
I finally broke down and bought a really nice Four Monitor system and it runs great.
Here's what I got and I'm very happy with it:

Multiple Monitor Computer

Quad Screen Multi-Monitor Display

It pretty much looks just like this following video, except that the bezel is black on mine....

Multiple Monitor Computer Video

It all cost about $2,500 with the computer and Quad LCD Display.
I hope that helps you out!
