Simplest way to connect 3 monitors to Desktop? Best suggestions?

To my Learned Friends out there in TV Land....

 

Suddenly, I feel the need to add 2 more monitors to one of my desktop computers.

The reason is....

I now have a blasted BLASTING PA system....blasting me.....4-times a day, every day.

My only quiet room is my bedroom.

I plan to harden my bedroom with extra glass and VERY heavy drapes, .....soon.

 

So, I need to add two monitors to my bedroom PC....quickly.

Then, I will just hide in my bedroom, the only quiet room, while I get blastedly blasted by completely useless and redundant blasts, some of which just tell me what time it might be, which .....is something that most of us know, anyway.

 

 

Here is my setup:

 

I have.....

 

a.  ASUS z790-Plus Wifi MOBO....

b.  Connectivity of MOBO is like this....

c.  I will connect three monitors....with monitor ports like this:

 

Monitor A (similar to this)

Monitors B and C  (El Cheapo Acers.....  with DVI and VGA connectors) 

 

D.  I will NOT use any add-on graphics card

 

I will use my onboard INTEL graphics GPU....on this chip....

 

20 × 13th Gen Intel® Core™ i5-13600K
62.5 GiB of RAM
Mesa Intel® Graphics

 

e.  So then...what is the best way to attach the 3 monitors with minimum cabling.....?

 

f. I do NOT engage in Gaming.

 

g. I use this computer only for things like.....

Writing/Editing/JS-Bach listening.....

No need for High-Definition performance of monitors....

Anyway, my monitors are slouches, resolution-wise.

 

h. I will go to JIB to buy the connectors/cables I need, next week.

 

Whatever.....

 

Regards,

Gamma

your option for third monitor are limited to usb-c monitor or an adaptor that will take usb c to HDMI to work with the monitor 

 

why do you have such motherboard without intending to plug graphics card in? cheap graphic cards, older gen would work if you don't game,

YES.

Correct.

 

I have never used a usb-c monitor.

Reason: I am OLD AS THE HILLS.....

So, I have ZERO experience with this...haha...!!!!

 

Not sure how (or if possible) I might take advantage of using the usb-c to connect one-or-any of the 3 (legacy type) monitors.

 

If this comment seems stupid...it's only because this is the first time I have had a motherboard that provided this functionality.

By the way....

This is all that I have found...so far....

There would have been no need to even DO this if....

The Powers-that-Be had not, in their infinite wisdom...

Decided to so suddenly....DOUBLE the Sound-Level of the local PA System....

In some misguided attempt to....

Blast me, FIGURATIVELY....

To Kingdom Come....

 

Now, I must harden my bedroom, against this blasted blasting noise....

And, then, retreat to my bedroom-retreat....whenever....

 

Therefore, in truth...

Since this situation was not anticipated by me....

I am now just trying to play catch-up....

With whatever technology I need.

 

I just need to have duplicate computers and monitors....

In two rooms.

 

a.  One room for normal times of day.

b.  A second room during times of Blasted Blasting Blasts of Random Important Announcements...such as..... "It is now 6:00PM, and so we will sing a song for you."
