I have purchased one, and I believe the seller has one more of these.
Hasn't arrived yet, but the concept of a quad output ATI graphics card gave me a boner.
Also, it is a 1X PCI-E card, which means that SIX monitors on my paris system is a real possibility!

Crikey Kim, 6 monitors would be scary. Apart from the huge chunk of bench real estate....what would you have on each monitor? It could get a bit like the control panel in the Starship Enterprise! Or give a new twist to surround sound mixing. Just kidding mate.

Hi Colin.
It arrived today. Have yet to test it, but will keep you posted!
One card for four monitors! Awesome!!
Remember, I have four EDS cards, and like to devote one monitor for each submix! Yeah, my desktop is starting to resemble the Enterprise, but... what the hey!!! (to quote FZ!!)
This is kinda fun anyway!
Cheers,
Kim

..and "Lo"! It is GOOD!
This card rocks! I had some preliminary issues with soft crashes when using the Nvidia dual output cards, (no big deal, but sometimes Paris wouldn't load first time... some crazy assertion error..) but this one has solved the problem.
I think I now have a very solid quad core system running Paris.
YAY!
