What are u using VGA or Composite, dont be lazy, explain how everything is connected!!!!!

If u are using 3 VGA monitors use VGA splitters. If u are using 1 VGA and 2 Composite, then you can either use the TV-Out of the motherboard with a RCA Y-splitter, or if you dont have a TV-out option, then you can use a VGA splitter with a Scan converter!

Next time please give more info...

Sorry about the quick and short posts I just really didn't know what I was talking about so I didn't know really what to ask. But thanks for your help and I think I understand what to do now.

you're probably going to want a splitter that is powered. If you just use a Y-cable, then you're going to wind up with a really weak signal, and you'll get a lot of ghosting on your image.

Please HELP!!

I really need a product for this. I've searched the forums and I have contacted over 20 places. I need something that is powered to split the signal from my VGA montitor to my rear composite monitors.

Don't know right off hand, but check the show off your project forum and do a search for "rear screen" or some variation on that. Then check out their project or PM them and ask how they did it.

Post back the results! This is something I've been thinking of doing as well but haven't gotten around to yet.
