so I bought the DP>vga converter
it works BUT
it is blocking my hdmi port becuase the adapter is so fat >_<
Now I need a very short anything longer than 5cm Dp male to DP female extention cable for cheap?
anyone seen one for cheap say under 10 bucks?
thanks
i tried dx and monoprice :(

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

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.
