1. How would one physically attach ten monitors to a single PC?

Matrox offers special graphics card for just this purpose.

For example, this is a quad monitor card:

2. What distance limitations are there on a signal for a typical monitor?
Can they be overcome by additional hardware?

3m
Yes, but that hardware is either low quality or very expensive.

3. What software or other methods are available to control that a
particular window opens on a particular monitor?

You can control the window placement programatically, but there also
multiple multi-monitor management programs out there. Matrox cards
usually ship with one.

I can recommend Ultramon

Basically, i think you're better of buying multiple PCs. The
complexity of attaching 10 monitors to a PC is high, especially if
those are strewn throughout a warehouse. Another way would be to run
the software on a terminal server, and publish it to thin clients.
