ensure it has to support this? Just two HDMI output ports? Will that allow the PC to send seperate signals to each monitor?

Tandy used to be great in the 70s, f. You could go in and buy a kit to build a transistor radio :cloud:

I always sort of remember it would be the sort of place I'd have to go after xmas to get a rechargable battery thing for my remote control car, or a rampack for the computer or some sort of cable

a bit of a knob (they'll probably discern this immediately) and and state your requirements. They will use the opportunity to persuade you to spend far more than you need to which you won't mind of course, as it will compound your already unbearable smugness.

You'd be hard pushed to find a PC that didn't support multiple monitors btw.

Assuming you have enough usb-c ports, they can do it all, I'd have thought. {Though I have the misfortune to be a mac user.}
