Dual monitors and an LCD?

Geforce 6800 is what I have. I already am running dual monitors, but I'd like to have an LCD run off of this too. I', talking about on of those LCDs that fit into a dual drive bay, or something like that.

Can this be done?
 
Wow. something Sarversystems doesn't know :p

Actually I'm wondering the same thing. I've got two Mag 19" CRTs running off a Gigabyte 9600 Pro, but with the way my water cooling is set up I can't really use the top two 5.25" bays and thought an LCD with temp/song readouts would be a good way to use the space.
Hopefully I could still squeeze a couple of hard drives in behind it too ;)
 
Actually you will need an extra vga-card, because todays cards only have two RAMDACs for two monitors, connecting three monitors/lcds (even tv-out) will not work.
Except the Matrox Parhelia/P750.
 
Find yourself a Matrox G200, then run one of your monitors from that and the LCD off the TV out of the GeForce card. The G200 has as good(or better) picture quality as any "modern' PCI card and is the only one I've ever used that works perfectly as a secondary card in a multi-mon setup. I'm running a 17" LCD off one alongside an ATI AIW card that runs a 14" DVI LCD and a 5.6" LCD. Works perfect, and the only card I've used that still allows the TV app to run properly.
