hi

for my last gig among friends i again took my whole desktop to the location, you know, because gtx 980. unfortunately transporting your whole desktop is tedious, so i looked into external gpu adapters so one could have the comfort of a laptop but still the performance of a desktop gpu.

i found these:

which apparently converts your laptops pcie-mini into a full blown pci-e x16 thing where you can plug in your desktop gpu.

and also this this thing from alienware:

which comes wich a psu and a case (i think).

anyone made any experience with these?

I don't personally have any experience with those, but I'm pretty sure the Alienware product only works with Alienware laptops.

that a fact, or do you just suspect that because it would fit into alienwares douchery?

I believe I remember reading that it used a proprietary cable. I can't find any links about using it with non-Alienware products. Not 100% sure though.
