Amazon Air could become a reality, how to make the most of your multiple monitors, and Holiday Pi.
Amazon Prime AirFirst Version of the Amazon Prime Air
Octocopter Design

Avionics have sense-and-avoid features

The delivery is done on a target pad
15 mile range
Multiple MonitorsTraditional Port-Based Connections
HDMI/DVI/VGA/DisplayPort/Thunderbolt
Check with your video card to see how many active ports you can have simultaneously
i.e. The Geforce 770 in my PC has 2 x DVI, 2 x HDMI, 1 x DisplayPort --- However, I can use EITHER HDMI or DVI + the DisplayPort
But let's get creative with DisplayPort ($67)
SIIG CE-DP0211-S1 DisplayPort to 2-Port HDMI
Takes a Single DisplayPort in, and outputs to 2-HDMI monitors

Can mirror or expand

It's also good for distance runs: 5M on input, 15M on output

Up to 3840 x 1200 Max resolution (That's 1920 x 1200 per monitor)
Notes:
In Expand mode, it ONLY outputs side-by-side, not top/bottom

You REALLY want to of the same monitors.
To the computer, it looks like a single screen, so perhaps not great for gaming
