What you need is a dedicated gfx card with 2 gfx ports on the back

trying to get some sort of double adaptor will just display your screen twice

You need a dual head video card, but from what I remember those optiplexes only take half size video cards so you may not be able to easily find something cheap that will do it.

As long as you don't obviously damage anything or cause it to break due to something you have done they still have to honour their warranty. The warranty void if removed stickers don't mean shit.

this might do it >>Nvidia 8400<<
