Hey guys,
I've been looking around online for new Tech and Hardware and knowing that this is still somewhat old news, it is still going around from the looks of it and it is looking much more impressive now then it did 5 years ago.
There are some DIY External PCIE 2.0 kits around but look rather messy but ViDock appears to work just like an External Hard-drive chassis with multiple different sizes to fit different cards with different power outputs and they have a current max output of 225 watts with a soon to come 400w version.
The only downside of this setup is that it appears to require a separate Monitor as it doesn't utilise with the display on the Laptop its self.
ViDock Gfx: High Performance Dual Display Notebook Expansion
I've read up on people doing Benchmarks with GTX 560-570 and 660 ti/670 Video cards externally to their Laptops and getting quite remarkable performance and it is quite interesting for anyone that prefers the portability of a Laptop but dislikes the performance of Mobile Graphics Cards due to the Laptops that utilise higher-end GPU's are generally too darn expensive.
This thing appears to be quick-swap/hot-swappable and can be used with a large variety of Notebooks/Netbooks.
For example, on a Macbook with a GTX 560:
