My Mates Dell is annoying low profile box, he wants to go dual head, I cannot find a dual head low profile graphics card anywhere. Anybody any experience with this, maybe there is an external converter thingy? I don't think performance is an issue its just spreadsheets and the like..

When I dealt with low profile HP (SFF - short fat f***er's), they were an absolute fricken nightmare to locate low profile graphic's card, let alone a dual out one.. Good luck locating one.

Have a look at a Matrox TripleHead2Go if performance isn't an issue - an external convertor box. Use one at work occasionally.

I've got one in mine. Picked it up from ebay, there were loads IIRC. Mines pretty old and lower spec, though. Don't know about s****y gaming ones. I has a single socket and a special splitter lead.
