Is that the FAVI stick? I think I saw those for sale in the local comp store (the only one left) and was going to look into it furthur. Gets mixed reviews but then mostly positive later on Amazon.

Yes, that's an example of what I'm talking about. If you go to Amazon and look for "Android mini PC" you will find a whole bunch of them.

Thank you everyone for the ideas! Debbie, you got me thinking about the old gototv that I used to use in my large conference room before we moved. Seems to do the same thing as the FAVI stick. Sounds like I have some researching to do.
I appreciate everyone posting.

If I were in that situation, there's 100 different ways you could go, but easiest would be a VGA splitter sending signal to the other monitors using a VGA to cat-5 adapter if you have the wiring available.

Jeff has the solution that I would use.

I found out the full project yesterday. He wants 3 additional monitors through out the office. The furthest distance is under 125 feet, so my first inclination is that I will go with the splitter and 125 ft cables, call an electrician and call it a day. I found a TruLink 4-Port UXGA Monitor Splitter/Extender that I think will fit the bill on C2G.
Since the content changes throughout the day, I think this would be the easiest and cheapest way to go.
Thank you again for everyone's input.

Thanks Ric, but it's not done yet. Ordered the splitter and of course will be back to posting when it doesn't work out!
