    I just saw this article.

    This thing looks really cool. If you've got one external monitor hooked up to your notebook but want to have another you might of thought you were out of luck. This things might be the solution you've been look for though.

    It's an adaptor that plugs into your usb port and has a DVI connector on the other end (or VGA) for an external monitor. And you can hook up to 6 of them for 6 external monitors. Cost is stated at $75. It does involve some software installation.

    I think this device could help a lot of people who'd like to have two (or more) external monitors hooked up to their notebook.

    Nice solution alternative to the Matrox Dual/TripleHead2Go. Those run more like $200 and $300 respectively. This sounds like it could make a good solution for running a 24" monitor off of the new laptop coming.

    Thanks for the info!
