My vga port broke off motherboard

[Cx3]

Please someone help i dont want to spend money on this desktop if its just a lost cause, my vga port is completely broken off the mb, its an older model desktop from 2008, so i think thats the only display port, all i have is usb ports so if i got a usb to vga female adapter would that work for me? And i cant buy a new video card i dont know how to put that in..
If someone could reply back and weigh out my options that would be great, im trying to fix this problem with the least amount of money needed thanks

Both options that are posted will solve the video port issue.  Assuming installing a video card is the least appealing to you, then the USB to DVI/VGA option similar to this should work for most applications.

This one gives more choices for monitors if the VGA monitor mentioned fails

Both of these would be fairly easy to install.

If the video card option is considered, then it just requires opening the case and inserting the card in the PCIXpress slot and then connecting the monitor to the card output.  Since that PC is old, then an old inexpensive card similar to this is acceptable, if EBay does not scare you away.

The link provided in your post indicates:

Resolution Supported output resolution under USB2.0 only support: 800 x 600, 16/32 Bit, 720 x 480, 16/32Bits
It supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 System only. Also requires driver install from a CD.

PS: you cannot support USB 3.0 devices at full spped, so the resolution will be limited to that above.

I would recommend the Plugable as they provide good products.  That one on EBay is questionable, IMHO  It is up to you, however. 

As to the question concerning the driver install - It might be advisable to install a NVidia GeForce card, then.  It will provide a video signal even though it might be a poor resolution, at first,  because Windows will install a generic driver until  the correct driver is downloaded and installed.  As least you can see until the correct driver is installed.

If i used a laptop could i put the usb to vga on my desktop but connect the other vga to the laptop for display so i can download th disc driver?

It is not clear what is being asked.  It is possible for the driver to be downloaded with a diffeent computer to a flash drive or some other media and use that in the PC in questin but you will not be able to see to run it on the desktop.

You can get an inexpensive video card for that old computer on EBay for less than $30.00

I realize that is more than the $10-$15 you spent but you will be able to see for the driver install.

On the other hand, borrow an old video card from a friend to use temporarily,  just to install the driver for the device that was purchased.  Do not get too fancy with the card, as some might not be compatible.
