Has anyone ever used one of these to hook up 3 monitors to one PC?

I was looking for its dual version a bit ago for work.  Its nice when you can't change the video card... but its a very expensive way to do it.

you can buy two widescreen video cards for the same price as 3 3x4 + one of these.  But you have the advantage of the center being in the middle.

I would personally love to get one at some point though.  I wish they would change it around a bit though.  I would like one of the video signals to be ported to a second cord on a switch, and one disabled on the same switch.

So, without changing the wiring, you can change it to a two monitor setup with the middle monitor as the primary and one of the others as the secondary.  Not all programs/games work well with widescreen gaming... and if you can't disable it quickly / without changing cords, it would suck.  The second monitor is also nice for many of those same games (so you can see your teamspeak settings ect)

LAST -

I wish there that game companies would change the rendering so that the left / right screen where looking a bit off to the left / right.  So you can convert it to an enviornmental, instead of just a very wide screen.
