damn geese beat me to it by a minute lol
there's plenty of cheap ones out there, Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! has a good variety of both cheap and expensive ones, i find however, that cheap ones are quite finicky and find it preferable to use synergy but that requires another monitor
