a very very basic computer will run more than 4 tables with ease.

Make sure you get a video card with dual dvi if you want 2 monitors

I am doing this right now. Get either an E6420 or an E6600 Core2 Duo. For a motherboard I am using an Intel BOXDG965WHMKR LGA 775 Intel G965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard. Two of my friends built systems with these and love the board.
