I use 5 monitors and I couldn't live without them.
An off the shelf Dell Dimension 4700, 3.2ghz P4, with 4gb RAM, an upgraded PSU, a Matrox G450 MM card, Dell 19" monitors, plus I use the on-board video. (It is time for an upgrade though, especially when using MT4. I've been using this setup for about 4yrs.)
You are using MT4 ? how do you get the charts on the different monitors ??

They are about the best I have used, the currenex platform has it's limitations but so do all platforms hence why I have my own in development. The combination of the two are waaay better than MT4 that most seem to use here.

My workspace is coming together. I have the monitors mounted and spaced like I like them. I bought this table last Saturday. We looked all over to find a sturdy table with diminsions to accomodate the monitors. Each stand with four monitors weighs over 60lbs. This is a very comfortable leather ...bound office chair from Office Depot. My PC and battery back up towers will be in this week and I should be trading with my new tradestation by market open next Monday. Till then I'll continue to trade on my laptop. Here is a list of my major components. I hope that this will help anyone who is currently considering a new set up.

Kiss fan, incredible setup but with all due respect what the hell are doing, monitoring the next shuttle launch?? You're telling me you need 8 monitors to trade the forex. What the hell are you trading that you need all that anyway.

I excercise while I trade and like to watch multiple pairs. Each screen will have only one chart on it most of the time. I know where you are coming from. Currently, I trade on the laptop in the picture that you see. I will be getting Tradestation in a few months and will be learning a new market as well. ( I also endeavor to make sure that I'm not doing anything half-ass)

Wow..This thread totally rocks. I have to say that KISS's setup is by far my favorite. I've been looking at the possibility of doing a projector setup so I can trade on the big screen..The plan is to do a whole trade studio that the family can enjoy music and movies in on the weekend. I'll post pics when the idea becomes reality. Right now I'm only using one monitor.. But it works fine for me.

Actually I used to have (well still have it but just not setup) a 100in screen with a projector. Now that I run dual 42's I'm selling it...maybe your dream can become a reality even sooner

I am a newbie, so if you need anymore information to help me out, I will provide what I may be missing. But here are my specs:

Dell Inspiron 530 (basic, 14 months old)
650 Watt Power supply (antec)
2 NVIDIA 8400 GS video cars
2 19" Samsung syncmaster 943bxw
2 23" Acer H233H
2GB Ram

I originally had the two samsungs with one card. No problems at all. I now added the two acers with another of the same card. 90% of the time I have no issues. I trade fixed income. On occasions I freeze and it requires a manual boot and a 3-4 occasions I have gotten a blue screen that re-boots the computer on its own. I swapped out to classic view and downloaded ALL needed updated drivers that I can think of. That has improved the situation. But by trial and error and research I believe I have come up with the problem. I try and run a high def video in windows media player, when I play it on the samsungs (19") I have no issue, but when I play on the acers it freezes or runs very slow. I am thinking that the NVIDIA 8400 GS is just not good enough to run the 2 acers (23")?? I downloaded NVIDIAS temp gauge. One card runs around 80-90 degree C and the other 40-50 degrees C. Appreciate any help! thanks.

Thank Scotty B! I have been using a laptop since I started. I'm only using two of the eight monitors as the video cards that I want are hard to find. I'll get one on Tuesday and the other a week after that. Patience. Just like in trading.
