Hi,
nice article!
Can you remove the ViDock while the machine is running?
That would be very interesting for me because I want to be able to remove my T400 from the dock without shuting it down.

Nice to find a functional, minimalistic gadget that does what it supposed to do. And, does it well!

Feature suggestion: A way to set the timer by using the mouse wheel to increase / decrease custom time by minutes? It’s probably not necessary. I’m just lazy.

Thanks for the App!

Seems probable! If it’s easy to disable/re-enable definitely worth trying.

Would a program that uses facial recognition, like Asus SmartLogon, have the same impact? I have that program on my laptop for logging in and I can’t for the life of me get WMC to work.

Yes, you need to provide the PE4H power. Either via a suitable laptop DC adapter (that I had no luck finding, at least not one that provided stable power) or by pc power suppy. It is critical that the power supply be of good quality. I had so many issues that turned out to be due to the cheap power supply units I used. This cannot be understated – get a good power supply, I had good luck w/Crucial.

The other problem with a laptop power adapter is that it limits the graphics card you can use to one that consumes 75watts MAX. The PE4H can supply it that much via the PCI-E slot. If the card needs more than that, it’ll have an additional power plug and you’ll need a pc power supply for that.

Hi,
This is great!
Im just curious?
I looked at the HWtools website and it supplies a “power supply cable and power supply switch” with the package.
Do i need to buy a power supply to use a desktop graphics card?
I cant just attach the G card to the PE4H and the PE4H to the expresscard and use it?
I noticed you have a large power supply below your laptop. Is that for the PE4H?
