3120n Slimline

‎07-06-2009 09:54 PM

I want to run two LCD DVI monitors on my 3120n - I do not use this for gaming.  I just want to set up my computer to run two Samsung 20 inch LCD's 2053BW monitors.

 

Can someone suggest a good video card for this.  (will spend up to 180.00)

thanks

A good source for info on adding to, or modifying older Slimline PC can be found at

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1224011 

 

The problem with trying to "soup up" the Slimlines, particularly the "older" units, is the limited power supply (@ 160 watts) and scarcity of 1/2 cards 

I think some of the newer slimlines come with slightly more powerfull (? 220 watt?) powersupply units and may be using some CPU's that require less power to run than the older 65 nm chips.

 

HTH someone
