My Internet connection is too slow for me to read all the latest pages since my last visit, so excuse me if this has already been posted. Seems like there's a new ThunderBolt solution coming to town, the Silverstone T004: http://www.bit-tech.net/news/hardware/2013/06/06/silverstone-external-graphics-card-case-deb/1 http://www.anandtech.com/show/7040/computex-2013-thunderbolt-graphics-from-silverstone http://accesstechnews.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/computex-2013-thunderbolt-graphics-from.html Apparently there will be a 450W PSU built-in, which should power most (if not all?) cards available today. It also supports PCIe 3.0, so when support for PCIe 2.0 is inevitably dropped it's still upgradeable. According to Computershopper the price will be about $200 - $300, which seems very affordable for a Thunderbolt accessory of this caliber. No news of a shipping date though (I hope it passes the ThunderBolt certification process). I know what I'm buying as soon as it ships, finally I can have a laptop that it is possible to game with when at home, yet light enough to use "outside" all day. Since it's a all-in-one with the PSU as well, it's simply plug-n-play (hopefully).

I'll be sure to do that. On the same subject: Are there any benchmarks done on the MacBook Air 11" mid 2012 (using the 1,7GHz i5 CPU)? I'm guessing no since it's not mentioned in the first post of this thread.

Guess I'll wait then, doesn't sound too tempting to fork out that much + the cost of a enclosure right now. I'll go ahead and upgrade the small 64GB SSD instead.

Any Thunderbolt news on the horizon? I've just bought a MacBook Air and the iGPU is obviously far from decent desktop cards. I have a GTX 560Ti I can use, but from what I've collected there aren't really any good solutions available since the TH05 were recalled?
