Hello all! Recently I picked up one of those small, Dell optiplex 745 USFF computers. The specs were alright, its got a core 2 duo and came with no HDD and no RAM, I recently upgraded to a 1 TB hard drive and 4 GB of RAM, and its been running great! My only problem is I enjoy using (enjoy is an understatement) multiple monitors.
The motherboard, being USFF (Ultra Small Form Factor) dosen't have any PCI ports as you can see in the photo, and only one DVI port on the back.
Any suggestions as to what I could possibly do when it comes to adding another monitor or two? I've done my research but it seems like without PCIe PCI and the like ports on the board for a graphics card its going to be hard.
I'm really not too good with hardware, so is it possible there are other alternatives out there when it comes to adding a graphics card to this machine?
Thank you in advance
