Connect three monitors

I've been reading the posts re: multi monitors. A while back I removed
my 17" CRT to check a mate's computer after a repair, but when I
plugged it back in mine, it was dead. I played about with it, but
nothing! I was in a hurry to do some important work so I bought another
monitor - a 15" Flat Screen. Later, when I had the time, and really
pissed that the thing had died on me, I had a good look at it. The
monitor was okay, I had bent one of the pins. I straightened the pin
and it worked. So now I had two monitors.
I connected the two up to my Geforce fx5200 card (one AGP, and with an
adapter one DVI) and I had two moitors, brilliant. But it looked a bit
strange. Then I bought a friend's, identical to mine Flat Screen (when
he upgraded to a 19" FST), and thought I'd run three monitors and the
whole thing would look balanced. But when I try to buy a PCI card, I'm
told you can't get them anymore?? I took a Prolink card I had in an old
PC, but it's too long to fit the case. Anybody got any ideas how to do
it? My system is:
