If you are looking to pick up a Matrox card, check out this site. They have odds and ends of stuff for sale and occasionally I see something that I pick up. Just so happens the have the Matrox G450 right now.

I know that with the right video card(s) you can have two monitors, but has anybody had 6?
I did 5 with matrox cards (1x g450 + 4x millenium). Did both X and fb - it's kinda interesting to see 5 different divx playing off the same machine :)
Matrox cards are designed exatcly for the kind of thing you're looking for. Just one word of warning - get older models, like g400/450/550 (they're dirt cheap from ebay), not the newer ones (parhelia & co), since the drivers for the newer ones are nonexistant or next to useless.
It would be a nice experiment to get four or five 4-head pci models and stuff them into one box ... :)~
