A cool idea, with two showstoppers (?):

1) It would cost me another 3600 euros for the other three screens

2) Would it be even possible to build the option into Oolite to show all four screens? In principle, it should, shouldn't it?

And when at it, the search for the ultimate joystick and a little cockpit for the four screens would be the next step then ...

you forgot the 3(or 6 for sli) extra video cards you would need to get anywhere near decent speeds... with 3 extra screens

Not to mention that you would properly need a whole new PC with enough CPU power and PCIe slots ... and an OS that allows for 4 video cards

Nah. If my 1.6GHz Atom with a crappy onboard can keep up with one screen, I should think a quad-core Athlon with pretty much any 2009 GPU (one of) could handle four screens. I mean that has to be 8 times the CPU and probably about 20 times the GPU performance...
