    Is it possible

    to have one PC and several screens?
    Like one in my room, one in the ceiling, and another one?
    Does it depend on the distance between my PC and the screens?
    And do I need special wires?

    Sure, if your graphics card has two or more outputs you can hook up X amount of monitors to your PC. If you want to have one on the ceiling you'd have to get a pretty long cable though.

    The cables you'd need should be standard DVI, HDMI or VGA cables, again depending on your graphic card outputs.

    ​As long as you have the right outputs and cables, yes.

    I believe most recent Video Cards can easily support 2 monitors at once. If you want 2+ you're usually going to be looking at running dual Video Cards.

    1 more is enough.

    Ah, I run 3 at once on this PC.

    I run two GTX Cards, since I haven't fucked with this rig in forever I think they're both 4th Gen.

    Like 2 480's or something. If I wasn't so lazy I'd look.

    My GTX 680's support up to 4 monitors each, meaning if I had the money or the need I could connect 8 monitors to my PC. Really not necessary if you are not working with 30 windows open at the same time.

    Would do what?
    I'm sorry to say, but I don't believe I comprehend the context in which a response like that would be necessitated.
    You seem rather angsty, maybe you should simmer down.
    You were seeking strength, justice, splendour.
    You were seeking love.

    Yes it's possible but in my experience I've only ever needed one but another one helps out when my desktop get's cluttered. I don't know why people need more than two.
