For some reason, DisplayPort doesn’t seem to be very popular. I see it mostly on those tiny PCs that attach to the back of the monitor in an office environment.

I have no displays that are inherently display port, so the back of my machine now is a mess of adapters and power supplies to convert 4 monitors from Display port to HDMI.

Oh, and she want's it cheap. Looking at the Dell, HP, and Lenovo sites, cheap PC's are really easy to find, but I can't seem to find any that have dual monitor support. Newegg will let you filter desktops by Videocard model, but not by Output options. It seems almost all corporate offices now have dual display setups, so I'd imagine there should be a ton of these things on the refurb market. Any ideas what I should be looking for? I'd like to find something in the $200-$300 range.
