Best way to monitor/view multiple VMs at once?

I apologize if this has been covered before but I didn't have any luck searching google or here for answers.

I run 8 VMs on a 64bit W7 host and 5 VMs on a 64bit XP host all running 24/7 and would like to find a better way to watch over them. They are all 800x600 screen size and end up over lapping each other. So when one has a problem or error I can't always tell without pulling up the individual window/VM. Needless to say that's a pain. So what I would like to have is a way to shrink the windows but not the screen resolution on the VMs and not have scroll bars so I can still see the whole VM screen. Does anyone have any ideas?

Yes I know getting more monitors would be the easiest way but I'd like to avoid ending up with a dozen monitors, my electric bill is high enough lol.

You should try scale mode, see if it does what you want. Once you've started the VM, it is in the View menu.
