First of all, I realize that vga is not ideal for this, but I got 6 of the same monitors for dirt cheap and if possible would like to put them all in an eyefinity setup. I do not currently own a video card capable of doing so, and was looking for more advice before I purchased one. So yeah I have six 19" dell monitors that *only* have vga analog inputs. Please someone tell me its possible and what video card would be best for the job. Thanks.
6 monitor eyefinity *all vga*

No can do. You need digital connections for this to work. Go here for more info:

Yes you can.... You'd need an eyefinity 6 card and 6 active display port to VGA adapters. I certainly wouldn't recommend it though.
The better question is why does he want eyefinity and if there is a better way to accomplish his goal
What I want to accomplish is to be able to play WoW and Counter Strike across the bottom 3 monitors (I have them in a 3x2 array) My current setup has 3 crappy video cards and 2 monitors on each card with extended desktop. Works great for browsing and all that nonsense with some 3rd party display software for the wallpaper and taskbar management. But I want to be able to span my games across the bottom 3. Still a no go?

16gb ram
2x 120gb ssd in raid 0
as far as video I am going to purchase one to make this work, if possible, but the current 3 cards i have in this machine are crap
Also I really don't mind if the picture quality isn't *perfect* as long as it works across all 3. All the reading and research i've done on this is pretty much leading me to one final solution: get rid of these 6 monitors and buy 3 good ones....

Yes, 3 solid, digital monitors would be better.
On your original question, Newegg has several active adapters that could work. One such as this one:

Along with an Eyefinity 6 GPU like this one:
