so your monitors run of of pc power instead of wall power? because if that is the case you are going to need an extra graphics card.

you want to have DVI to VGA watch out not VGA to DVI. its hard to notice on extension cables, but you migh be using the wrong cable. maybe someone you know has a DVI compatible monitor, you should test if the DVI ports on you GPU actually work.
