I posted this in Networkng & Security originally but since its about displays, I'll put it here instead:

So our company was hired to replace/install security systems throughout an entire towns infrastructure (by that i mean an entire township, which concists of about 8 different towns)... at their main public safety office we installed 4 monitors but it was not enough... so today we installed 30 wall-mounted monitors... 26 of them are not connected to anything yet, we're waiting on 2 dell cabinets to arrive where we will install 30 computers. The computers will monitor security cameras throughout the district as well as alarm systems and other various devices... heres the install. Worked straight through with a few 10 minute breaks. Started at 1pm, ended at midnight:

The monitors (against the current cabinet which has 2 computers in it):

So the next step will be to build 28 rack mount computers (3U each i believe we're doing) and install them in the 2 dell cabinets that are coming this week... that project will most likely happen within 2-4 weeks.
 
nice... it looks like just one BIG screen :D play Crysis and see what fps you get hehe
 
Are the racks going in the same room? If you don't mind me asking, what's the path from monitor to security cam?
 
Yes two 42/45U cabinets in the same room. VGA wires go behind the monitors, up the wall, through the I beams and then down the corner (they will build us a wall around our wires since we just dropped them outside the wall)... its about 15 feet from the wall, not far. Just hope the noise level isn't much, lol. 30 computers i imagine will generate some serious noise
