    Need help with eGPU

    I have a T420 with i5 2540M, 4GB memory, 60GB SDD, integrated graphics, and 1600x900. I wanted to buy the cheapest solution to put together a eGPU solution. I am planning to buy a GTX 460 or around there, maybe even a used 4890.

    Could someone help with what hardware I will need? I also want to put it in an enclosure as I have cats that are too curious. Would a small shuttle case do or is there a better solution? I want to be able to utilize the expresscard 2.0 that I believe comes with my T420.

    I read the threads, but there is a lot of information!

    Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

    Thanks, guess I need to wait for Ver 3.0 to come out.
