These have some good stuff at a good price, you should check them out. I've bought a few things from them before they're not bad =]

Any ATI card that supports Eyefinity :P

Yes, please do link to a website which none of the graphics cards it sells will actually support 3 monitors by itself.

Basically, what you want is any AMD 5xxx series or higher card that has 3 active outputs, including one display port. So long as the AMD card is 5xxx/6xxx/7xxx series and has a display port connector along with two other outputs, it will support 3 monitors.

How much would a cheap one of these be do you think?

I didn't check before hand, just knew the website had helped me out a few times and thought maybe it would him too but evidently not. No need to get sarky about it, I apologize for the useless link.

About £70. Also you'll need to factor in the cost of a dongle if you don't have a display port monitor.

Have 3 VGA ones so il need to get a dongle ontop then?

[Tomm]

Yeah, you'll need to convert the DisplayPort to VGA. Also you'll most likely find the card does not come with any VGA ports either, so you'll need to convert the other ports on the card appropriately.

For example, if you got this card:

You'd need a DisplayPort to VGA adapter and a HDMI to VGA adapter. The DVI to VGA adapter will come included.
