Umm, ouch!

For the out the window stuff you are in a real bind... only way to do 
multiple accelerated views is the Parhelia (spelt *something* like that...) 
card which will drive 3 accelerated views, which will leave one more to 
drive, and I think you will have to go the wideview route for that 
(assuming MSFS?)

For the 5 glass, that is a little easier, but depends alot on what software 
will be driving the displays.  If you can use non-accelerated 2d stuff then 
it'll be easy enough to bung a bunch of PCI cards in one machine and you 
can just define where you want the displays, and drag stuff onto any of them.

That's kinda what I will do to run the cockpit displays in the A-4, 2 cards 
in an old Pentium 200 running two smallish VGA screens.
