There's also the possibility of using 2 or 4 LARGE flatscreen monitors
and muliple windows for the various chores. Unless your PHB is hung up
on having 6 physical monitors, you can probably accomplish the same
thing with a pair of 30" LCDs and a nice 'n purty X Window manager. 2 x
30" LCDs is a lot of screen real estate and a lot less complex to put
together.
