then you have your monitors to close to your head, or too far apart

And it uses more desk space.
And your electricity bill will be slightly higher too.

Most graphics cards only support two, you're probably going to have to get a second graphics card.
I run two monitors (with a 3rd being my TV for watching movies/tv shows). The only "downside" I've found is the loss of desk space because both of my monitors are CRT. However, I believe it's worth it.
