Hello,
This is probably a stupid question, but all of the desktops I have looked at online seem to have only one HDMI port, then one DVI &/or VGA. If I want dual monitors, why don't any of them just come with two HDMI ports, or do they make them and I'm just looking in the wrong place? I apologize if this is posted in the wrong place. Tell me where it should go and I will re-post it there.
Thank you for your help!

For built-in video (on the motherboard) that is a standard. You can hook up one monitor through the HDMI / DVI, then the second through VGA. If you want dual HDMI you will need an aftermarket / different GPU with that option. Not an uncommon setup, but not likely to be found with a prebuilt system.
