Yup, it's in the wrong section. I'll move it.

a PCI card? Win7? Dual monitors? I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a PCI video card.

But... did you google it?? :facepalm:

Hi,
Why do you need a pci graphics card? Do you not have an AGP or PCI-E slot available?

I'd get on eBay and have a search.

Also, take a look at USB 'graphics cards'.
They totally buckle under any pressure (video playback etc) but they're fine for second DAW screen or whatever.

What CPU do you have? Does your motherboard have dual video outputs? You can run two monitors from the onboard graphics on most modern Intel processors.
 
Whoa, that's a weird case.

Looks like you have a pci riser which would place the pci cards vertically rather than horizontally (in an upright tower).
You can either get a pci video card as you originally suggested, or get a conventional case from somewhere and go pci-e.
(I thought it was AGP, but the motherboard says pcie 16x)

Assuming you already have one screen working and aren't going to be asking a lot of screen two, those USB jobs might be the easiest and cheapest thing.
I have one here. I got it on eBay for very cheap.
 
This from the manual:
Only one optional PCI riser card (the PCI riser or the PCI Express x16 riser)

Which means, if you use the PCI riser, it uses the AGP slot. Just remove the riser and put your graphics card there.
