The real question is "Why not?" I use them because it's just easier. I actually have 3 on my desk. The one on the left keeps shows my server monitor so I can see if one if having trouble. The middle one I use for everyday things like typing this email and checking out code. On my right I have terminal server connected to various servers fo whatever I may be doing to them at a time.

You can pick them up at Radio Shack usually. That might reduce it. Another possibilty is to ensure a ground to the "bad" one - loop wire from the metal casing (usually visible through the vents) to something nice an metal - like a baseboard heater or something... Once you go dual you'll never go back!
