Cheap PCI-Express x1 Video Card Needed

[farmdwg]

I am looking to add a 3rd monitor to my Dell Studio XPS 435mt system and the only expansion slots that I have are of the PCI-Express x1 variety. The problem is that no one makes a video card for less than $100. Does anyone know of a place that I can pick one up for a reasonable price? I don't need anything fancy, VGA connector would be fine as well.

Thanks.

I know this sounds crazy, but you could always try lobbing off the rear PCIE lanes of a cheap older card. You know, like an x300 or something.

edit: I don't know if that will work for sure or not... I've heard somewhere that it will. in any case, at your own risk.

Pick up a X1 To X16 riser and grab a cheap low profile x16 card?

Thanks for the great ideas... I'm going to watch that eBay auction. I'm afraid that it will go up and up.

That only extends a current monitor. I want something totally separate that a dedicated card can do.

Even if you get another video card, that monitor will still be extended.

Try finding one of these, 9500gt x1 PCI-E.
