6 Display Array

I recently inherited six 1280x1024 monitors. They only connection on them is VGA. I am looking an affordable method of driving all six displays. It is possible to use my 2012 MacBook Pro to drive these displays, or will I need a desktop with multiple video cards?

I've seen the 2012 MBP drive 3 1080P displays via ThunderBolt, but I don't know what's possible on VGA.

Thank you in advance
 
Unfortunately there's no way you're going to be able to drive 6 displays off of a MBP. What you've seen done with Thunderbolt is the limit of what a lone MBP can pull off.🙁
 
Probably going to need something more than the Macbook to power those. With thunderbolt and USB you could get close to 6, but really you need a desktop to do that, and for all the displays to work great...
