I have a gift Dell Optiplex mini-tower. I see that it has spaces for 
five extra cards.


      Midnight-gray

In the recent midnight-gray chassis (with the flip-up door) (Transformer 
cases):

And I have a couple of spare monitors, at least one of which I'd like to 
add.

Scott mentioned a possible donation. Which would help as I am a 
cash-strapped pensioner!

{You /could/ add a USB video device - but ideally you'd add another 
video card or replace your existing one with a video card that provides 
multiple outputs. They are fairly cheap and you'll often see people 
offering them for free on this list. I don't have any multiple outputs 
cards lying around - but I do have many older AGP single output cards 
which I give away.}
