Quad Monitors on a Dell system

My goal is to get 4 Dell 2001FP monitors running from 1 computer at 1600x1200 resolution each.
 
If I get a XPS Gen4 with the  256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800 (to run 2 of the 2001FP's), can I buy another retail 6800 and safely run the other 2 monitors.  I not sure if the 460 watt power supply is enough or if there will be video card conflicts, etc.
 
Only 1 of the 4 screens needs to be real good for 3d games, the rest can have sub-par performance.
 
If that setup won't work, what will?
 
Another option I thought may work would be 1 256MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) nVidia GeForce 6800 and 1 Matrox Parhelia 256 MB PH-A8X256 (supports 3 DVI's)
 
 
Thanks very much for any suggestions.

Look at a Matrox G450 PCI card.

You wont be able to put 2 6800's in the computer. It looks like they only have one pci-E x16 slot.
