Dual Monitors, Help!

I have the Alienware Aurora R4. I plan to run dual monitors on it but the ports I have are different, they are both DVI but one can run an adapted VGA input but one can't. If a monitor says it can run DVI but has a VGA cable will adapting that work? If not please can someone link me to a monitor that is around £150, HD and will work with both ports. Thank you!

Whats wrong with an adapter? And will one of those DVI-D cables work with a DVI-I port?

You really don't want to use a VGA adapter and even if you did you couldn't use it. Your monitor and GPU doesn't have a VGA connection. If you don't have two DVI-D cables then buy two. They are cheap and can be purchased almost anywhere.

Buy two DVI-D cables, they work with DVI-I or...

I think Best Buy has a install service that you can pay for. They will come to your house and set it up for you. Or maybe try a local PC store. They may come and do it for you too.
