[Jagdish Phadke]

I want to start computer classes and want to cut off my expenses . I have heard that we can connect 5 monitors to 1 CPU specific device or card( I don't know its name).Is it true ? please let me know if it is possible and also tell me approximate cost.

Thank you !!

Well, it is possible to connect multiple monitors to a computer, if that's what you're asking. And the cost really depends on the type of monitor you're buying. And if you're buying a new computer to do this with. More information is needed to answer this question I think.

No I am not buing new computer . I already have 2 computers.

You'll have to go for a motherboard which supports 2 graphics cards, and put 2 GT 210's in there, and you can connect 6 total monitors.
What power supply are you using?

same signal (display) on all 5 screens? that's probably very easy. an eBay port replicator should do the trick (i've never used it, but it's technically simple)

if you want or need to have a 5-screen desktop, then that's different and you'll need a CPU that can output 2 monitors plus one card that can output 3 monitors, for a total of 5 monitors.
