I cannot source one of these to save my life within the EU, Also none of the retailers I have contacted have a stock ETA either. I then started searching within the US and one retail site seems to suggest this item has been discontinued? and will be replaced by "version 2". I will contact them and a...

Well it is currently sitting ontop of its own shelf outside and away from the computer case in a cold room.

Thank you for all of the input so far. I am not sure why 3 displays is so hard when dual screens has been common place for many years. Why the need for a £60 displayport adaptor or a £300 Matrox card :( I may just buy a cheap pci card to drive the 3rd screen when the time comes. What about last ge...
