I am looking to make my surface pro 4 my deaktop PC, I know I need the docking station and a way to connect 3 monitors to the surface. I also need to figure out how I am going to connect my 5.1 speakers and my 3.5 mm mic. Suggestion on products to help make this possible

 

Current monitors are connected by HDMI, Display port and DVI would like to keep that or switch to something else but not display port as only 1 monitor supports it.

Why do you want an SP4 as a desktop? 

 

EDIT: I'm assuming you already have the SP4. DP hub and then a USB audio card?

I want to be able to unplug it and take it on the go with me. I want everything to be in one place with backups on my server not.

I have a nice PC way more powerful than the surface and I plan to re purpose it into a server.

Creative makes a USB sound card that has the ports you need.

 

I forget what it's called. It's red and has a knob on top

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
