I'm trying to find a cheap NVidia based graphics card with 2x DVI ports.
The majority of cards out there have 1x DSUB, 1xDVI and some 1xHDMI.
I really need something with 2xDVI.

NVidia based is preferred (as the Debian support seems to be slightly better) but ATI would be considered.

Can somebody point me at one?

Could you not use a HDMI to DVI cable like this (with one of the 1xDVI, 1xHDMI cheaper Nvidia cards), or are you needing dual-link DVI?

Oh - didn't realise you could convert from HDMI to DVI - might be the solution!

Just for a standard desktop PC.
A couple of users need new machines, but they have 2 moinitors that they want attached via DVI rather than DSUB.

For all intents and purposes HDMI = DVI. The pinouts and signallings are identical. The only difference is that HDMI can carry audio. No conversion involved bar the physical size of the plug.
