I was thinking of setting up a third monitor too.
2 is fine but could always use another hooked up.
I found this

MaxiVista turns any networked computer into an external monitor. MaxiVista's only hardware requirement is that the two computers must connect to each other across a network, so it's perfect if you can't add an extra video adapter.

You need another video card, thats about it.. or you could get your self two dual head capable video cards and run quad monitors

Just make sure you have the right slots in your machine for the extra video card.

PNY Quadro Pro series

Try that.

Supports up to 4 VGA connections.

If you want to get crazier, install it as a 2nd video card (if your motherboard will support it), plugin 2 monitors to your current video card, then 4 more to the PNY card. (Total of 6)

Oh, yeah, be sure to use "UltraMon" to stretch your taskbar across all 6 monitors.
