Would probably require both DVI (ADC) ports on your video card. One DVI channel doesn't have enough bandwidth for such a high resolution, but two would.

Maybe you can have two video cards running, with 4 DVI outputs total. Matrox has a video card with "hydravision" that can run 3 monitors at the same time, can't see why it couldn't be done. Then again, who would spend so much?
Are those free-ranged animal crackers?

You have to use the Geforce 6800 Ultra card which can drive up to 2 30" displays.
