You can buy devices that will allow you to "extend" your video over
the network [1]. You can get basic stuff that does video only all the
way up to expensive kit that allows you to use keyboard,mouse,audio
and video over a network connection (think KVM with really long
reach). Price will vary accordingly.

If it is the same content you want displayed on each monitor then you
might try googling with keywords like VGA/DVI, splitter, over TCP, and
so on.
