With today's inexpensive monitors (like the one highlighted in today's Cheap Geek post), multiple monitor configurations are within everyone's grasp. If you'd like more viewing room but your computer lacks the ports, check out the USB 2.0 Display Adapter just released by Other World Computing.

This $99 adapter turns any USB 2.0 port into a DVI port. It works like an external video card, so you don't need to install an upgraded video card into your computer. The adapter works with HDMI, DVI, and VGA displays in full 32-bit color at resolutions up to 1600 by1200.

You can even use more than one of these: Intel Macs can support up to four adapters, while Windows XP SP2, 2000 SP4, and Vista with Aero computers can support up to six.
