Dual monitors on a Dell 790 small form factor
Original display is configured VGA. Additional display is VGA and DVI. Back of the 790 is VGA and DFP. Cable connectors look to big to fit alongside one another the 790. Suggest a video card or other means to connect the second display.

790 sff has a vga and dp connection, you can use a dp to dvi converter or a pci-e dvi adapter ( it will use the onboard videocard)

If you want to go down the video card route, Dell suggests this one in the manual

Get the 2xVGA cable option (as pictured)-
