Most (if not all) laptops can only directly run 2 different video outputs at once. You'll need another video card (PCMCIA, USB, etc.), or something like Maxivista plus a display PC to have more than 2 simultaneous different displays from a laptop.

If you want 3 simultaneous different displays without using software and a second PC, you'll have to buy another video output device. Probably USB is the cheapest, but not necessarily the highest performance, and definitely more than $30: probably closer to $50 at the low end. PCMCIA/Cardbus video cards are usually over $100.
There might be some free software out there if you already have a second PC, but I don't know what it is.

And, what cables did you spend $30 on?
