I was watching this (http://www.archive.org/details/episode_1134) episode of the computer chronicles when at 3:37 I see the Workspace manager and at 3:43 we see some more NeXT hardware in a multi-monitor setup (and through the clip we see even more black hardware).
You can also see what appears to be a Newton and two of the projection screens are running 4DWM (AKA, Irix, which means that there are SGIs nearby).
Cool, huh? :wink:

Can you install more than one dimension board in a cube in order to get a third display?

Yes. I have one cube that has 2 Dimension boards in it, so you have a total of 2 screens (1 BW, 2 colour). The nifty thing is that you can drag a playing video across the displays with no problem. Try that with Vista!
