can I hook up (2) monitors to this computer?

You will need a VGA to USB adapter - you can find them for $39 to $59 ($59 at best buy)

Tom - you'd have to connect each PC to BOTH ports, a DVI and VGA. For example, my Dell laptop docking stations all have both DVI and VGA outputs, so I can switch back and forth between my two laptops and each gets both monitors. Pretty sure that if you just connect the DVI jack to your computer you will only have one monitor, not two.

Hello Matthew, I will say every connector is on this device because built in you have VGA, HDMI and a Display Port. You may say, what about DVI and while that is not built in, you can buy an additional cable to convert either the HDMI or the Display Port to DVI and for that matter you can get both and run 2 DVI monitors! These are great computers.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it can. I plan to get a third monitor. If you connect two together, I believe only one can output though...

Dell has two monitor slot on a single graphic card. In that case yes you can hook up two monitor at a time.Dell is very users friendly in the matter of dual monitor use.

The back of the tower has one hdmi port, and one vga port. I hooked up dual monitors (both the same) using an hdmi to vga adapter. I suppose you can hook up anything as long as you can find an adapter to make the second port work.

Yes, this card will support up to 3 displays but the 3rd display must be ran on the cards DisplayPort connection. To run 2 monitors you can use either of the DVI ports and the HDMI port or both DVI ports.

Yes this will allow you to add an additional monitor to your system. I use. 2 of these on my laptop plus the onboard VGA adapter to run 4 monitors

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

Yep, it's possible with docks like this Dynadock, or the Plugable Dock Plugable USB 2.0 Universal Docking Station with DisplayLink DVI/VGA up to 1920x1080, Audio, Ethernet, and 4 Available High-Speed USB 2.0 Ports. You just connect the extra monitor to the dock with its own cable, then the dock to the laptop with USB. So assuming that your laptop already has an external VGA port that you can get one external monitor connected to (try that first), then the dock then allows you to add a second external monitor. Your desktop can then be set to span all three screens (your laptop screen, and the two external monitors), which is a cool setup.

You can daisy chain two monitors via displayport at maximum supported resolution. If you are willing to go down in resolution you can daisy chain a third.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

Video card does not require 2 displays. But you may connect up to 2 displays to this desktop. Thank you

Yes you can, however, one of the ports are VGA (analog signal) and the other uses DVI (digital video input).

You most definitely can. In a matter of fact. I have 3 Dell monitors as well. Keep in mind that you will have to get a DVI-I splitter in order to split one of your DVI inputs.

Yeah, you don't have to use 2 monitors. You can use this instead of the mini display port.

John,The computer does have two hdmi ports as well as the typical monitor port. Additionally, I have not attempted to use it, and don't know if it would work with a three monitor system.
