Multiple Setups

[TWrapper]

What I am looking for might be a bit of a long shot, if it is even possible at all although I have already convinced myself it is! For a little back story on how I have come to think of this contraption before we proceed! 

 

In life there are only a few things I truly love! One of them is that late night gaming session with the friends, while the other one is racing. That's right like NASCAR, you know where we only make left turns. In the past I have had dedicated stations for both, but it was unpractical in my opinion to go from the racing simulator, powering a new system up then gaming on that right after. 

 

I guess what I am after is something that could use a single system. Yet that I can either choose to race with a triple monitor setup or game on another monitor as I sit at a desk.

I can see a couple ways to do this.   The first is to connect all four displays.  and mirror the middle display of your triple setup to the fourth display on your desk.  Probably the simplest method.

 

I forgot what i was gonna say for the second.....

now i remember.  if your rig is small, like Mini-ITX.  you might just be able to carry it from one place to another and "dock" it to your various setups.

 

 

my Aegis (while deceptively heavy, fucker is dense AF) is small enough to fit in a backpack if need be.  and it has WiFi so i need not worry about internet connectivity.

 

Maybe an alternative if you are looking at an upgrade as well.

Well. I am looking for a permanent solution. It will all be in the same room and I actually use the triple as a one (NVidia Surround) and I am looking to buy a ultra wide monitor if I could set this up.
