Oh , then tell us more about your requirements. Then we might be able to help out for fun.
If you only say more computing power than a laptop, then the normal answer is a regular desktop PC. And if it should be silent, then comes water cooling. That works perfectly silent even with the most expensive (highest performance) CPU while gaming. Personally experienced with my relatives in midsummer. Just a few more radiators and done. Then the water cooling costs about 1000€. That meets all requirements: powerful, silent, four monitors. Super easy. And the room is always nice and warm even without heating. ;)
How old are your kids anyway? They will probably want a gaming PC with colorful LEDs / buy it themselves instead of using dad's tinkering stuff. Or they don't like PCs and a silent all-in-one PC is enough. Or a tablet.
If your opinion is fixed, then search for kvm over ip or similar keywords. But those are all bad crutches, or it gets expensive. Very expensive if you want more than FullHD at 30Hz. And you definitely want that, you describe yourself as tech-savvy. DisplayPort 2 transmits up to 77.37 Gbit/s, by the way. Have fun transmitting that 4x over the network ;)
That only leaves the wall breakthrough, with the computer/server standing directly behind the wall o_O
