Trying to set up dual monitors on Dell Inspiron 620 slim tower

Hi,

One of my offices has a Dell Inspiron 620 slim tower, and I've looked all over the net for a low profile video card that will drive dual monitors. I've read in a few places that the power supply could possibly be too weak to run a card supporting 2 monitors in this particular box. If anyone has any experience with this slim tower and running dual monitors, I'd love to find out which card you're using and how you handled the power supply problem if there is one.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the info Frosty555. This is for a standard workstation so definitely no need for gaming quality etc. I also think that this would be the only card in the box so overheating might not be an issue. I appreciate the help.

Question for you coral47:

Was there any degradation in video quality using the usb adapter or is it limited in its views? I'll need to extend the desktop, not mirror or anything like that. It sounds like the easiest solution, but I need to make sure it will work without me needing to take the box apart. Thanks for the help.
