Getting one on the cheap is going to be tough, everything involving displayport is expensive. Cheapest one I came across was 33.99 + 5.99 s&h http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200458 On a side note, do you know if you can run a vga > dvi connector through your dp > vga so you get dp > vga > dvi and still have it operational? I'm sure it wouldn't upscale back to digital, but if you only have dvi connectors it's a viable solution for those of use that can't find the dp>dvi dongles in stock. |

A quicksearch on shopbot.ca shows the startech version (DPEXT6L) to be around 28$CDN. On the startech site theres also DPPNLFM3 that's not an extension per-say but seems to fit if you don't need more than 3ft, couldn't find a price or a place that sells it though. |
