Traders use 2d Nvidia NVS cards that are fanless. You do not need a 3d card as they are overkill and run hot so need a noisy fan to cool. Fanless nvidia nvs 295 dual cards can be had on ebay for $10-40. A fanless quad NVS 440 is $25-$100. They do an octa (8) head as well.

That's true for 2008, not true for 2018.

Modern cards newer than GTX960 have dual fans but the fans don't spin in 2D applications. Even if they spin, they're close to silent. They don't run hot either, many mid-range models are close to CPU temps. I'm saying this while living in a tropical and humid climate.

You can use the integrated graphics on the processor for two monitors now but you still need a quad NVS if you want to do four screens efficiently.
 
If you buy the right motherboard the integrated graphics on the processor will support three monitors negating the need for a dual graphics card.
 
if I'm running a dual monitor setup I believe 16GB should be plenty but it's expandable RAM, GPU wise the 1060 should be fine....
 
I bought a computer I have 2 27" monitors I plan on buying and might add in a 3rd and possibly a 4th in a stacked configuration. Any suggestions on the stand?
 
The proximity is one advantage

Consider:
- Datacenters have much more reliable internet and power.
- A dedicated server will be a little more reliable with ECC memory, dual power supplies and RAID disks.

However:
- If you're just using the server for proxying/RDP'ing, then latency will be higher since there is now an extra hop along the way to where you're end location is. Not to mention the overhead of RDP/video protocol.
