I currently have 2 Viewsonic 22" monitors connected to my desktop, and just ordered an ASUS G53JW as a desktop replacement. I think my plan is to use external keyboard and mouse with laptop closed when its at my desk.

What are my best options for using the 2 monitors? They are currently connected via DVI but have VGA options. I think they are VX2255wmb but i can check when i get home. I read that the G53 can't output to both of its video out at the same time.

I'd like the solution to not be a pain in the ass if possible. Optimally, I'd like to be able to plug the device that has the 2 monitors plugged into it to the laptop whether its on or off and just work, but I understand if this isn't realistic.
 
Look for a DVI to USB adapter. Plug in the USB cable, plug your other monitor into the normal laptop video out port.

Something like this should work.

Just a heads up, but it's probably not ideal to game on the monitor that's going through the USB. Just make sure to play your games on the monitor connected directly to the laptop (or the one attached to the laptop for that matter).
