Some PC video cards come in Dual head versions. Depending on how you set up the driver you can either have two identical displays or one large display across two monitors. Check out the Matrox and Nvidia dual head cards.

plus, depending on your OS, you might just be able to drop another video card in your system and configure it, rather than a 2-head device.
I know that WinME and up support two-video-card display options, and I've done it with a decent AGP card and a leftover PCI with no problems.
(in fact, if I can clear some desk space, I'm going to do that again with a 4mb vid card I picked up for $5 at my local computer surplus store...)

I am running dual monitors at home and work. Two cards at work, one at home. If you are running XP, piece of cake. Almost impossible to screw up.
