Second Video Card for 3 Monitor Setup

Hey Guys,

I could use some help here. Please let me know if this is the wrong spot. Seemed fitting because it is NVIDIA related. I have an older Dell XPS 630i, with an NVIDIA GTX 285 , that I use for work. I am currently running two monitors, but would like to add a third. As I understand it I have 2 options.

DualHead2Go
Second video card.
DualHead2Go at $170 seems way overpriced. As this computer is not being used as a gaming rig, I feel like I could do better with option 2.
So my questions are
Would a second card be a better alternative?
What would be the cheapest compatible card?
How could I configure the second card to only power one monitor, and leave the rest to my gtx 285.

Below are my specs, a pic of the slots I have left, and a link to the monitors I want to have 3 of.
Dell XPS 630i GeForce GTX 285 750W PSU

Are you doing anything GPU intensive at all since you're not gaming?
I'd suggest replacing that power hungry 285 with a new card.

Not a whole lot, unless having a ridiculous amount of browser windows open during the day as gpu intensive.

I'd get a GT740 or GT750 and be done with it.
You'll drop power usage WAY down, keep it to a single GPU, and be able to sell the GTX 285 to recoup some cost

Awesome man thanks! We've been wondering why our electric bill has been so high. This thing runs all day for work. So I guess all I'd need is an hdmi to dvi-d adapter and a display port to dvi-d adapter and this would work.

You can also just buy cables with the two different end connections you need
And I think the GT740 comes with 2x DVI and 1x HDMI. That'd mean you need 2x DVI cables and 1x HDMI to DVI cable.

Go for a 750 as it's not very much more but is a newer architecture.
