i definantly need to add another monitor to my mac mini. i just came across tomshardware’s ces roundup (lots of cool new stuff), where they mention a new iogear usb to vga adapter: IOGEAR will be shipping adapters soon, initially supporting 1680×1050, with 1920×1200 following later in the year.

i only saw a $99 usb/vga adapter that does 1280×1024. (GUC2015V) can’t wait for the higher resolution ones to come out. there’s even a wireless version of the external vga planned.

update : found a usbtodvi that does 1600×1200 but it looks like it only supports windows. [ more info ]

after looking at the mythtv wiki for mac osx, it seems like it would just be easier to roll up a small virtualized mythbuntu frontend instead of installing all the development libraries and configuring a myth environment. or i should just go order a mediamvp instead and see how an $80 mythtv frontend works.

check this out, this post is now the highest dugg post on digg. [ as of 10:25 est ] it’s gonna be scary to see all the people getting jacked in a few months once these come out.
