Setting up Dual Monitors

I an looking to set up my work PC with a second monitor, but this isn't company sanctioned. I know the easy way would be to install a new graphics card with dual VGA or DVI ports, but being that this is not company sanctioned I'm not eager to go cracking open the case. I know what I'm doing, but this is a POS I'm working with here and the people I work for would place blame on my adding the video card if it went down, regardless of whether or not the fault was at my hand.

Is there an external option? This is an older Compaq Presario, so I doubt that it has anything sophisticated enough to just run a Y-cable off the VGA port. I am looking to extend not duplicate the desktop.
