At work I've got an Dell Optiplex 790 (Scientific Linux) which is run by a 240W power supply. The graphics card only allows me to use 2 monitors at the moment and I am looking for a cheap/low power consumption graphics card that would allow me to use 3 monitors. I've got a NVIDIA NVS 315 at the moment.

Any ideas or suggestions?

there are a few nvidia gt610 cards that have dual DMS59 outputs, and each DMS59 splits into a pair of DVI, so you would be able to get quad DVI outputs. only limitation is that the OS sees each DMS59 as a single 3840x1080 screen, which the card itself splits into a pair of 1920x1080 side-by-side.
