I need a new Video Card and Case for a computer that I have made. I am doing it for my grandparents, so it does not need to play Crysis at max settings. They requested to do a dual monitor setup so I am getting a video card to accommodate the extra monitor. I also need a new case for it that is under 16" I was thinking this case: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119195[/url] and this Video Card: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150461[/url] Would standard computer components with a Mini ATX motherboard fit in the case? It can't be any bigger, and we already have a mid tower if they won't. Is there a way to split the monitors to show the same thing on each screen, because they would put them in two different rooms. (The monitor cables are long enough) And of course, the standard recommendations for better parts at better prices.

The 4650 has 2x DVI, that has 1. Not sure if that matters to the OP.

It doesn't matter how good it is, it only matters that it can support 2 monitors and run Outlook & the internet. My Grandma doesn't need to play games. BTW, she will be doing everything on two 1280x 1024 monitors (I can't remember it exactly)
VGA input monitors?
Yep
