Thermaltake Level 10 GT Chassis
|
 "The Thermaltake Level 10 GT is yet another case that I had the opportunity to preview at CES 2011. The Level 10 GT is a follow-up to the original Level 10 that garnered a ton of press from CES 2010. The goal with this new version is to bring the style of the original Level 10 case to a much more reasonable price point. The original had an asking price around $800 - more than some users spend on an entire system!"

Matrox DualHead2Go DP and TripleHead2Go DP Multi-Monitor Adapters Now
Compatible with New Thunderbolt-Enabled MacBook Pro
Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced that the Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition
and TripleHead2Go DP Edition are now compatible with the latest Apple® MacBook®
Pro notebooks featuring the new Thunderbolt™ port. Developed by Intel® and
brought to market with technical collaboration from Apple, the high speed I/O
port sets a new standard for high performance peripherals. DualHead2Go DP and
TripleHead2Go DP are already the preferred multi-display solutions of many Mac®
users. With a simple Matrox firmware update, these solutions can also be used to
achieve unprecedented dual- and triple-monitor performance including OpenGL®
support on the new Thunderbolt-enabled MacBook Pro. The new software release
will also add the 2x1400x1050 multi-projector resolution to the already
comprehensive supported resolution list.
 "DualHead2Go DP and TripleHead2Go DP deliver workstation-class, multi-display
performance for the most demanding media creators and CAD designers," said
Caroline Injoyan, Business Development Manager, Matrox Graphics, Inc. "We're
happy to provide continuous support to our Mac users by enabling Thunderbolt
compatibility on our Graphics eXpansion Modules."
The Matrox DualHead2Go and TripleHead2Go Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXMs)
work in conjunction with your system's existing GPU to provide high-quality,
uncompressed graphics and video across maximum resolutions of dual 1920x1200 and
triple 1360x768 under Mac. With the additional desktop display area, MacBook Pro
users can run different applications on each monitor or view one application
across multiple displays, eliminating the tedious and time-consuming tasks of
re-sizing, re-arranging, and re-organizing multiple windows. Notebook users can
further enhance their productive workflow by using their laptop's LCD as a
third—or fourth—monitor to achieve an unprecedented level of computing
efficiency. GXMs are also compatible with Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
Availability
The new software is available on the Matrox driver
download web pages, while the Matrox DualHead2Go DP Edition (Part #: D2G-DP-MIF)
