According to the specs: these are the Video Interfaces DVI, S-Video, VGA. These are the Nvidia GeForce 8500GT graphics card Interfaces: 1 x DVI-I (dual link) - 29 pin combined DVI
1 x VGA - 15 pin HD D-Sub (HD-15)
1 x HDTV output (I'm not sure id this is hdmi or not, if not to have an hdmi interface would require a card with that interface.)
1 x VGA ( with adapter )
