Hi Guys,

Would very much appreciate your help, i'm looking for the cheapest computer I can get to support 4 full hd monitors. I dont use them for gaming mainly web browsing, itunes and emails. Was looking at zoostorm. I have seen graphics cards which say they support 4 screens but do I need to have a certain system spec to allow the graphics card to run properly.

Thanks in advance sorry for my knowledge being very limited.
 
This would probably have been better suited in the general section, most of the PC speccers are there.

What's your budget? Do you mind building your own one or prefer it being already built?

EDIT: If you want it prebuilt, go for this system: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-239-OK&groupid=43&catid=2038&subcat=

Add a 5450 for the GPU upgrade, then you can use this with the onboard. So in total you'll have 2 DVI, 2 VGA and one HDMI connections (DVI + VGA onboard, DVI + HDMI + VGA on the 5450). Bare in mind the 5450 can only support up to two screens. Just make sure the onboard is enabled in BIOS and the two will work together just fine.

Just to let you know that you should NOT buy from Zoopoo (i don't think you should name them on these forums as they are a competitor of overclockers.co.uk, read the forum rules)

My brother bought a gaming zoopoo PC a couple of years ago and paid quite a lot of money for it. A few months later the power supply went bang so i had a look at it and those idiots had used a 220 watt power supply on a gaming PC with a GTX9800+ graphics card! I had a spare 550watt so I put that in and luckily it worked. Then a few weeks later the DVD drive just stopped working but, again, i had an old spare so I put that in. Then the card reader stopped working but that is not going to be replaced. I warn you that those cheap PC's will probably fail after a while. I don't know what the customer serv ice is like from Zoopoo but i imagine it will be quite difficult getting things repaired.

Overclockers will build you a PC to your specification (or you can buy the parts and build one yourself as it is very easy and is cheaper)
 
Thank you so much for the quick responses. Sorry if i broke any forum rules or posted this in the wrong section. I literally have no knowledge of computers so am trying to slowly learn through this forum. I have cheap equipment where i work but it seems to work well for what i do, just want a larger home set up. I am thinking at the moment to use tvs instead of monitors but i know you can get dvi to hdmi adaptors so thats not a problem. I just dont want to fork out money for something i dont need and is ott or not spend enough and the system cant do what i want it to
 
Do you want to build it yourself?

In that case a budget and case selection for the forum would give you a great starting point.
 
What connections do you require? DVI/HDMI? Ideally it's best to use monitors over TVs as they're more suited for PC use.
