Default Dual monitor support for Dell XPS?

I have a Dell XPS with a half-height toward and I'm trying to set up dual monitors. I can't find a PCIe video card that is half-height and supports dual monitors. Does anyone know if such a video card exists? If not, is there some way to get around this or would I need a whole new computer? Thanks for reading, help is much appreciated.

You have a half height tower??? All XPS desptops are in huge cases, so why would you need half height anything??

This one isn't in a huge case. From the Dell website:

Expansion Slots
1 half-height PCIe x1
1 half-height PCIe x16 (Graphics)

Couldn't you just use a single-display video card in conjunction with the onboard video?

Also, here is one.

It even comes with the low profile bracket. (Although the low profile bracket gets rid of one of the monitor inputs so you will either have to use the onboard video for your second monitor or create a custom mount for the second display input in the second pci slot.)
