remember Parkinsons Law - the space you need will expand to fill the space you'v got. I use 3 and its plenty, if youre running a good machine with mission critical things only you can also use something called Dexpot which gives you more virtual desktops.
for graphics cards you dont need to spend much ive got 32mb matrox g450s in by dell box and they were about 40 quid from ebay, will run 4 monitors per card. everything works fine.
one other thing is that you can spend a fortune on computer kit for a sh!t hot computer when its way over the top. A box for execution and maybe graphing does not need the latest greatest chipset.
So, instead of blowing all your wad on one machine, i think its better to split it between a primary machine of mid spec and also on a backup system like a laptop and prepaid wifi dongle or something.
having a single point of failure in your setup isn't a great idea, despite how flash your setup is.
