I have always had a dual monitor setup for my pc's for years now. I am now in the market to build a new PC and get some new stuff.

I need some help or advice on how to run 3 monitors WITH a 4th display which will be a lcd/plasma tv.

So I am thinking I can get 2 video cards and that will give me all the hookups to run 3 monitors instead of 2. I will mount all 3 monitors in a row side by side and above them on the wall I would like to mount a larger 30-40+ inch lcd or plasma tv. I would then like to hook up my atelite/cable to this tv just as I would normally hook up a tv but I would like to also be able to have an option to view my PC o this tv as well. I know that is possible but would it be possible to view my PC on that tv and also still view my 3 other monitors and have the TV be a 4th display, where I could dock a different app/window in windows in all 4 displays (3 monitors + tv) ??

Please tell me any tips/advice on how to do this including what cables/software if any/converters/ you name it.

Thanks for any help
