Looking for a video card for several of our OptiPlex 980 Desktop's (full size not the mini). We would like to provide a dual monitor setup for most of our team and we don't need anything really powerful for a card as they are just running Office programs and checking our online database mainly.
Because we are buying several of these (and monitors too), I don't really want to overbuy on the cards if we don't need too. Most of the video cards I see as compatible on Dell's site are all at $100 or over, like these:

At least both of those come with the adapter needed, but this seems like a lot and most of them seem like overkill.
I know we are limited because the power supply doesn't support video cards with a lot of wattage (300 watts?). What cards would be a good fit for the OptiPlex 980?
