I'm still not clear on the details how to achieve this.

1. Option 1: "2x DP monitors"

How do I connect 2x DP monitors?

1a) I can not find any motherboards with more than one display port. Can 
you?

1b) Or do you mean using Thunderbolt instead one of the DisplayPort ports?

In this case I need 1 Thunderbolt + 1 DisplayPort + 1 Something else?

The only motherboard I know of with this configuration is the ASUS 
P8Z77-V Premium - which costs ~ 550 USD.
Can you recommend any other?

1c) Or do you mean using 2x (Thunderbolt -> Displayport) + something else.

I know about 2 dual-thunderbolt motherboards, all by GIGABYTE: 
GA-Z77X-UP4 TH,  GA-Z77X-UP5 TH, GA-Z77MX-D3H TH.

Did you mean these?

1c) Or do you mean achieving 2 DP by splitting a DP with a splitter like 
I mentioned?

Does this mean that any mobo with a DP should work? Take for example the 
Intel DQ77KB thin Mini-ITX board.
Can I split the DP into 2, and then connect 2 monitors via them, and add 
a third one with HDMI?

Option 2: "2x identical monitors with the same type of connector"

What does "identical monitor" mean here? Is same resolution/freq enough, 
or do we really need the same model?

For example, consider any of the GIGABYTE GA-B75N, GA-H77N-WIFI, 
GA-Z77N-WIFI models.They all have 2 HDMI + 1 DVI output.
Does that mean that if I connect two identical monitors to the HDMI 
ports, and a different one on the DVI port, and it should just work?

Sorry for being persistent; I would really like to understand my options 
here.
(I intend to make a purchase based on the information, and I really 
can't afford to be wrong...)

Thank you:
