25 HDMI Display Build (Server Rack)

[kennymax89]

Okay I need some help to see if this build is possible. The goal and i7 computer with 32GB of memory in a server rack mount. The hard part is this single rack needs to be able to power 25 HDMI displays (1080p) It is going to be used in a concert hall and moved back and forth. Is it possible to get that many displays going off of one rack? My first thought was getting 4 Visiontek Radeon HD 7750 2GB GDDR5 6M (6 x Mini DP) and running HDMI to mini DisplayPort adaptors. Any Ideas?

This feels like a good use for thin clients.

 

Do you need hdmi? Something like a nvs 810 is a better option here. You also need active display port to hdmi adapters here.

 

 

 

Are the monitors all showing different images?

1.  7x Matrox Epica TC48 1024MB DDR3  PCI-Express 16x, 4x Mini DisplayPort, Low-profile, for the Z90DE7 with Wyse   

   Or

   4x   PNY NVIDIA NVS 810 4GB DVIGrafikkort, PCI-Express 3.0, GDDR3, 8x mDP

2. ASUS WS X299 SAGE, Socket-2066  Motherboard, CEB, X299, DDR4, 7xPCIe-x16, SLI/CFX, 2xM.2, U.2, 2x Intel GbLAN

   3 .Intel Core i9-7900X Processor  Socket-2066, 10-Core, 20-Thread, 3.3/4.5GHz, 140W, 44 PCIe-lanes,

So this is the build I am thinking of 

 

Case; Silverstone SST-CS350B ATX Rack mountable Server Case

PSU; EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 P2 80+ PLATINUM

MB; Z270 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM

RAM; Crucial 32GB Kit (16GBx2)

GPU;  PNY NVS810 (x4)

25+ active mini display port to HDMI adaptors.  

 

so you guys think this will run 25 1080p screens without issue?

As long as the GPUs can support that many 1080p outputs, yes. From what I've found on the NVS 810, you should be fine.

how are you setting up these displays? there are limits in windows on the max resolution and number of monitors.

 

Why z270? thats a last gen system, id go with something newer.

 

Id probalby get a server like a dell r740 or precision rack or a used r720 if you want cheaper. These are normally much better in a rack system.

 

Why not thin clients. Much easier to wire up and configure.
