About those monitors (model # ?), I have a similar model with that type of stand. Mine DO NOT have mounting holes/thread inserts in the rear to mount on the racks often seen and discussed here on ET. I can't see if those do but if your thinking of a rack mount, take a good look at that. Many times I believe they are returned because of this, then resold at a discount. GREAT DEAL!!

As for my monitors, I picked these up (x4) on eBay (whilst Boli wasn't paying attention :D) for ~$100 each (free shipping). They say they are refurbished, but the packaging looked like it hadn't been opened before. 21.5" HD

I am no expert. It looks like a Samsung SyncMaster 2233SW 21.5 inch LCD monitor? I love Samsung monitors. Their colors and contrasts are the best from what I have seen. I have a few 2243SWX and 2343BWX. With a 21.5 inch providing resolution of 1920 x 1080... that is great! Especially for $100 each.

I am waiting for some 2650 x 1600 monitors at 24-inch... :)

According to Samsung's spec, this model has VESA 100mm on the back. If it is this model it should be okay.

It's going to be a mad rig !
Same drivers for all cards keeps it simple. Same image quality as long as screens are the same.
Image quality/ performance can stand out some when a card does not run as well one you are happy with. ( if specs differ )

power consumption.
newegg power specs here...
also find the individual power spec per card for additional ones to add

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130395

System Requirements
Minimum of a 350 Watt power supply.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 18 Amp Amps.)
Minimum 400 Watt for SLI mode system.
(Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 22 Amp Amps.)

I noticed the 350 watt p/s requirement. Does that mean he would need 1400 watts to run four of these?:eek: I'm wrong on that one I'm sure.:p :(

No. It is the system requirements with one card.
I don't know the individual spec on this card.
If you really pushed it and added 100 watts per additional card ( example 2 card )to the recommended system 350 that would 550.
I would imagine that is adding a lot for those cards. I don't know the cards so this is just for example

clip from link...

The conversion of Volts to Watts at fixed amperage is governed by the equation Watts = Amps x Volts

For example 1.5 amps * 12 volts = 18 watts
 
This is a good article on power consumption graphics cards/ power supplies

How Much Power Does Your Graphics Card Need?

from the article.... page 6
Actual Power Consumption And Current Requirements ...

Let’s take the Radeon HD 4870 as an example. AMD states “500 watt power supply” as a requirement on the packaging. According to the actual measurements, though, the graphics card doesn’t need more than 150 watts even under full load. Now we’ll calculate in 150 watts for the CPU, motherboard and drives, 300 watts should be enough. If we assume from this a 300 watt load on the 12 V line, this means 25 A is required for this rail.
