I have (3) of my GPUs sitting on top of my PC case on PCIe risers that have double-sided velcro to hold them on there.  They are connected to a PCiE USB controller, and I have all the power cables extended and going out the back of the case.

I wouldn't suggest using this method for connecting them to displays.  Too slow for that type of thing, especially at 4k.  Only good for mining.
