I actually was the one that put these out of stock, bought the last two.

So, how much is a good hub going to run me? Its not an absolute necessity as I only have 4 displays right now, just thinking for the future.

Alternately, without CF, can I run three (or five for that matter) on each card and still do eyefinity?

The Hub I can't say (never priced one) but a quick Google has them ranging from $150-$500

You should be able to when crossfire isn't enabled, each card runs independently of each other and you can run them with regular (extended) or Eyefinity desktops. For gaming though you won't get the benefits (or headaches) of CF, obviously.

Well, I would say that's pretty much all I needed to know. Thanks to all that contributed.

There is a Mini Displayport to 2x HDMI Special adapter! so you can run 4x HDMI on 2x Mini Displayport! I'm not sure but i think the maximum was by .... 16 ? Monitrrs for a HD6000 GPU.

Something like this?

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/816020-REG/KanexPro_MDPHD2X_Mini_DisplayPort_to_HDMI.html

Would that work to provide me 6 outputs off of one card allowing me to have the best of both worlds, Crossfire and 6 displays?

Does anyone have experience with this particular device?

I'm not actually having any issues, was just curious on some specifics on how/if I could do a 3x2 with my cards. The cards did come in and I'm rather happy with the results although I have yet to attempt anything other than 5 displays.
