I need to attach 11 monitors to 1 computer.
Would I have any IRQ problems if I use the following cards:
5x HP nVidia Quadro4 100NVS 64 Mb PCI Dual-Head DVI-I en S-video. Or is it better to use 3x Colorgrapic Xentera

Anyone had this setup before? Any experience?

To be honest, considering the sh*t i'm in, i'd go for the xentera. the less hardware to get to boot the better. (read my post on 8 monitors) they do seem to have a lot of experience in this area. succes to you!

I recently set up a new machine with two Colorgraphic Xentera GT4 PCIe cards, and put them on an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard. When teamed up with an AMD Athlon 64 x2 4400+ Toledo and 2GB of memory, the machine was capable of smoothly playing up to 16 mpeg2 files simultaneously. Colorgraphic offers a PCI version of their Xentera GT4 card as well, so I would imagine that the two PCIe cards plus the one PCI card should work pretty well for your situation.
Also, just a quick note... If you decide to go with the Xentera cards and plan on running windows, be sure to use Windows XP, and NOT server 2003. I attempted to use Windows server 2003, and encountered nothing but hardships. Everything works very well with Windows XP Professional though.
