Does anyone know if there is any device similar to a "Y" connector that
would allow the same image from a single graphics card to be sent to two
monitors?

There are many solutions you will find in Google by inputting the words
"splitter" and "monitor" in the search field.

The following are just links I found; I don't know about the products'
performance or reliability. There are many more to choose from

Caution: System administrators sometimes use only one monitor, one mouse and
one keyboard to access several servers for convenience by hooking up a
switcher. Make sure you do not order one of these by error.

Google is your best friend, here is what I found :
http://www.neutronexpress.com/prod.cfm/222990/CABLES_TO_GO/29610/ULTIMA_SVGA_MONITOR_CABLE

and

http://www.cablestogo.com/product.asp?cat%5Fid=2807&sku=29610

Or

.... you need either 2 graphic cards, a dual head card, or a VGA splitter.
You may also need a software called ultramon www.ultramon.com that supports
mirroring of displays unless you use the splitter that is a hardware
solution. I have a 8 vga splitter.. one card sends to 8 monitors the same
image.
