Currently only one due to the other monitor being broken.

I run with 5 monitors. Looks exactly like that set up except I lowered stand height, and 1 keyboard though.
Eyefinity :).

I have two, but I mostly use only one. I turn on the 2nd one when I'm doing research/work that requires more screen real estate. Driving multiple monitors puts more strain on the video card, so I tend to avoid it when I can.

Run a lot of things together at the same time.
I hate several windows overlapping each other, so I have a lot of monitors. Each window has its own space. It also almost eliminates the need for scrolling if your windows are in portrait mode. Also, I like doing/reading more then one thing at once.
Also, the gaming aspects, providing your graphics card can handle 7 million + pixels is really immersive.
One bad thing I learned about multiple monitors. Most websites suck at using all the real estate in full screen mode. I can full screen a website, and it takes up 1/5 of the space. The rest is just white space.

Websites are designed like magazines or newspapers, stuff isn't supposed to spread across the entire screen (unless it's primitive low res like 1024x768 or lower). You don't often see articles in a magazine span accross the entire page, instead it's in columns. Websites build on that aspect by having content column + navigation column. The reason for that is the human brain/eye gets subconsciously pissed off when ti has to span across a large distance instead of going from top to bottom. It's one of the first things they teach in graphic design, so that's why this is how it is online and in almost anything you're meant to read.

I use my TV as a monitor sometimes, and it should be around the size of those monitors, maybe bigger.
