Now that external video cards are a possibility thanks to DisplayLink and Wireless USB is practically out (finally), it's inevitable that the two seek marriage in a tech demo at Alleron's CES booth to form the Cable Free PC. Essentially recreating what Apple did with their Bluetooth iMac G5 only for the PC world, the demo setup consists of a mini tower equipped with a Wireless USB dongle that connects to a Wireless USB hub integrated into a typical flat panel display, using DisplayLink's chipset to provide VGA over USB. Response time was fast, and video was surprisingly smooth with no hiccups. Only two cables were used in the demo, and they were just to power the tower and monitor. Don't be surprised if we see this come out as an after market dongle that works with your existing monitor, or if future monitors natively support Wireless USB, as this technology is frighteningly real. More pics after the jump.
