You need a distribution amplifier. Something that takes one signal and repeats it to multiple outputs. Here's one with 8 VGA outputs. Comprehensive - VP-108

now talking to the boss he feels that he does not need the main computer running diffrent to the rest of the screens. is this now a matter of just splitting the cable running from the mac ro rge scrren and taking a run from each lead to the screen?

Are the screens VGA (CRTs) or DVI (LCDs)?

Specifications for VGA Video Splitter 1 PC to 8 Monitors, 400MHZ buy one for up to 8 VGA (CRT) screens

Specifications for SmartView 1-In / 4-Out DVI-D (Digital) Female Splitter buy two (plug one into the other) for up to 7 DVI (LCD) screens
