* Matrox Extio F1400 is world’s first remote graphics unit
With this solution, the user interface of the computer – the keyboard, mouse, monitors, audio peripherals, and graphics hardware – are separated from the rest of the computer by up to 250 meters (820 feet) of fiber-optic cable. Designed for professional applications, this product supports up to 4 digital or analog monitors at a time, and has passive (fanless) cooling: http://www.matrox.com/mga/start/newsletter/mar_2006/extio.cfm

So my friends this is so true Geek-itude. Well OK, if you are a graphics designer then not so much what great screen real-estate, can you imagine having all for hooked up to 24in wide screen…

Opps, got distracted there thinking about it. I’ll have to watch that in the future :-) or it could be sleep deprivation! :-)
