    Hey guys, I'm looking for a dual-display graphics card, AGP or PCI, that'll fit into a slimline desktop PC. Hacking off some of the bracket in a regular graphics card without slicing off one of the ports just isn't going to work! Does anyone know of a particular model I could be searching for? Preferably something along the lines of 128MB. Thanks!

    That could be tricky as low profile brackets are hard enough to come by as it is but one which has dual display support could be difficult.

    Can't say I's ever seen one myself what you could do if you already have integrated graphics or a single display low profile card is use Matrox DualHead2Go adapter this will allow you to spawn two displays off a single port.

    They are not exactly cheap but it will solve the problem your having easily and conveniently.

    Some of the online store sell them Dabs have the dual & triple version, OcUK only has the triple version.

    Yikes! Pricey! But thanks for the info- I'll see if my client is interested in paying a bit extra. Or I'll just get them to go for a tower.

    I know HP do one - we use it in work. It's low profile and only has one DVI port on it but it comes with a dual vga splitter. I can't check the model as I'm off today but if you don't find one by Monday I'll get it for you.
