Inspiron Desktop 3847, Dual 1908FP monitors?
How can the 2 Dell monitors (model # 1908FPc/1908FPt both be cable connected to an Inspiron 3847 desktop ?
(1) is a "magic cable" needed between only the 2 monitors ?
OR
(2) is a separate cable (VGA and USB or 2 USB) used between the system unit and the monitor ?

First, we need to know if you purchased the Inspiron 3847 desktop with an added video card. Look at the picture, see section 8. Now, look at yours, do you see an added video card?
If yes, then what video out ports are on the video card?
If no, then you will need to connect in this way =
Inspiron 3847 #6 Blue VGA out port --> VGA to VGA cable --> #1 1908FP VGA in port
Inspiron 3847 #5 HDMI out port --> HDMI to DVI cable --> #2 1908FP DVI in port
