Half Height, Three Monitors

[gte619n]

Hey guys,

I was hoping you could help me pick out a video card. I'm starting to assemble all of my components for a Sandy Bridge build out this summer. My goal is to put all the components in a shorty 2U case.

I've got juuuust about everything worked out, except that I need to run three monitors. Currently, I'm rocking the workhorse Dell 2007WFP, but will want to upgrade to some 24" or 22" monitors in the future. I'd like to be able to run the panels at 2560x1600 resolution.

Are there any half height cards out there that will support three monitors at that resolution? I've been checking out the ATI HD 5570 and see that it can support three outputs, but I'm not clear on the max resolution or configuration that can run together. Also, I would prefer something that is passivly cooled, but haven't really found that either. Does anyone make a 3x Display Port card that is 1/2 height?

I am not a gamer, so this is strictly for workstation purposes. I do mostly financial modelling and J2EE development.

Are there any cards that are available, or soon to become available, that I should use?

Thanks for the help!

this should drive 3 displays if you get an active displayport to DVI converter

reading the reviews, one of the guys plays blu ray movies and it works great, the other person says they can't even watch videos. so i would put the low review down as someone who did not know what they were doing.
