Cheapest graphics card that does 3 monitors

[Gus]

My work computer was left on for a few days and when I came in this morning the screen output is all corrupted. There is green lines all over the place and even when booting up the Dell post screen/bios is corrupted where any ascii text is jumbled. When it boots into windows its running 640x480 in 8 colours or somehting. Was really hard today as I had to muddle through the day with it like that. Its a shame but I think I just need to get a replacement.
Now the kicker is the computer is out of warranty so the company would replace the whole PC for a s**t one which will only have one output. The one I have rocks, its a super quick Dell T3500 with a couple of Xeons and raid array and a broken nvidia quadro 2000. Would rather keep that PC even if it means shelling out for a new card from my own pocket.

Its not for games , just your usual windows , internet, email that kind of stuff.
Is anyone here clued up on hardware like graphics cards and can recommend me something for £20 ish. I saw this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-182-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914 and it has 3 outputs but dont know if you can use all of them at the same time.

Or if anyone has some old card they dont need and wants a few beer tokens. Serious anything as long as it has a few outputs.

I really don't know a resolution but set up my dual screen at work the other day and used a splitter on the back of the graphics card. Maybe you could do something similar. The UI recognised there were 2 screens so it didn't just split the resolution and the screens were different sizes.

Worse case if you have space in the machine you could just buy a pair of cheap cards?

There is loads of space in the motherboard so can accomodate 2 cards - will this be any good http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-182-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914

Do you have a DisplayPort DVI adapter? Or at least one DisplayPort capable monitor? If so you could use a single car solution such as...

It's 50 quid though all in and maybe too much.

Yeah got a couple of the display port to DVI adapters. That card looks good but think its only 2 monitors - 1 port is hdmi which my monitors dont have.

What model of Dell pc is it? We may have spares in work from machines we break for parts.

Just get a HDMI -> DVI connector

DVI and HDMI are near identical except for a few things.

I use this for a twin 47" setup, works well.
Never tried it 3 ways.

Use DVI for 2x monitors.
VGA for the 3rd
One of your monitors have a VGA input, surely

We have some Dell T7400 in for parts.
Do you know the model on the existing card you have?
