I think that I would prefer 2 landscape (one on top of each other) then 2 portraits on either side. The problem is in getting the mounts to make it all work properly.

Also, HN seems to have dropped the "∝" symbol from the title!

What video cards do you use with your current setup?

It wouldn't take much carpentry to set them up in landscape, maybe with a cinder block or something in the back as a counterweight.

I have a pair of AMD Radeon 5700 Series cards (apparently released in 2009!), which seem more than up to the challenge. One thing to consider is that with 2 graphics cards, you needs at least a 550W power supply (I had a 500W power supply that died trying its best).

Unfortunately my carpentry skills lacking, and the Dell Single Monitor Arm [1] are NOT suitable for mounting 2 monitors on top of each other (not enough height).
