Q: can two computer monitors plug into the mac?

Is there a way to plug in two regular pc based monitors to the mini mac? I am looking for adaptors or something to plug in two monitors.  I currently have one monitor and I used the DVI adaptor to connect it to the thunderbolt plug in thingie. 

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

    Yes. The Mini have two video out ports. The newer one have one Thunderbolt and one HDMI. The mini comes with an HDMI to DVi adopter.

    What video outer ports are on your Mini?

    What model Mini?

    Yeah I have the latest version of the Mac Mini with 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.  It normally comes with 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 memory but I upgraded it to 16 GB.  I have an old monitor with two different ports one is DVi-D and the other is VGA input - DVI A.

     

    SORRY FOR CAPS MY KEYBOARD IS STUCK ON CAPS- THAT IS WHAT I GET FOR USING PC WIRELSS KEYBOARD BLAH....

     

    ANYWAY I WILL HAVE TO GET A DVI-D CONNECTOR CABLE TO PLUG INTO MY HDMI ADAPTOR TO PLUG INTO THE MAC.

     

    THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AGAIN SORRY FOR THE CAPS
