Triple display support for Precision 7520

Hi all!

I have a bit of a piecemeal setup at work and I'm looking for a definitive answer regarding my setup, so hopefully someone out there can help me. In short: I want to connect 3 external monitors and close my lid. Is this possible with the following setup, and if so, how are some of the ways to accomplish it? If I need to purchase accessories, I can.

Precision 7520 - Intel HD 630 + AMD Radeon Pro WX 4130

E-Port Plus Port Replicator

2x P2417H

1x P2414H

I currently am using 2x DP out, but that leaves the third monitor unused. I've been browsing for an hour now and I'm not sure what my options are specific to me. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

you can't chain the 3rd monitor using display port?

The monitors I have don't support MST. That was my first thought, too!

I ended up also posting on the Dell Community forums and received direct feedback from some Dell support specialists. The dock they are recommending is very expensive, but it does allow three FHD external displays and does provide full 240W power, ethernet and a few other things all over Thunderbolt. It's not my money, so we will see if I can get it or not. For now, the VGA cable - although blurry and off-color - will need to do.
