I was just sent this by a company I've done business with. Looks like an easy way to add multimonitor support without adding video cards.

News That Made Me Smile: The Return of M&K Sound

For those who know a little about my background, I spent well over 10 years in electronics sales at a variety of places. Of those, my job at a high end audio/video retailer and installer was where I got to eat, breathe, and practically swim in home theater equipment... definitely my favorite segment of the consumer electronics industry.

Right after I moved into my house, I began looking for an appropriate 5.1 setup to use in my rather small living room. Of course, my first thought was Bose, but then I did some research, and ended up with the Energy "Take 5.2" system (but with the same subwoofer I'd been using for years). I have since added another Energy speaker (albeit slightly different) to my setup, giving me 6.1 (quite nice being able to hear enemies directly behind me in multiplayer gaming).
