Seems like this may be a great option for multiple cameras or projectors.

Looking at it and reading the text I think that right now it will fail doing multiple projectors since you need to daisy chain them and as far as I know there are no projectors that can do that with the Thunderbolt/displayport technology. Or am I wrong? This is however interesting. I will email them and see what they say.

I was thinking 3 display cards with 2 DVI each and a Thunderbolt display at the end with my MacBook Pro safe in clamshell mode. I have a feeling this is only the beginning for the Thunderbolt mania. Imagine 2 12 core Mac Mini's with a 5 slot PCIe array and dual internal 500 Gb SSD in your bag ready to wreak shop.
