Dual monitors and PSU

Hi, I'm considering a mini PC as per the spec below. I want to use it with my dual Philips 248X3LFHSB monitors that have VGA or HDMI inputs. At the moment I use them with my laptop one from the VGA port and the other running off the HDMI output. With the spec below how would I connect the two monitors? Also I want to hide the case by mounting it behind the modesty board of my desk, I note this case seems like a good profile for that purpose but the spec maybe pushing the PSU a bit if I add another SSD later, I think the 150W PSU should be enough in this case, I don't do any high end gaming?

Welcome to our forums :)

You can indeed connect two monitors with the spec:

Multi-VGA output support : HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort ports
- Supports HDMI with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
- Supports DVI with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
- Supports DisplayPort with max. resolution 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz

The power supply is adequate for the specification and you are welcome to tuck this case away. Just remember though that your computer needs a respectable air flow to keep everything cool...
