    Hi there.

    So last week I just received my brand new 2013 MacBook Air.
    I'm very excited about it, and already love it.

    But here's the deal.
    I want to replace my old desktop pc with the air, so i want to hook up the air to my 2 old samsung LCD's(1920x1200), problem is that they only got DVI(No hdmt, thunderbolt etc.). So what to do?

    I would like one solution for the thunderbolt port, is that possible?(To make it neat and simple).

    Thanks!

    You can use a minidp - DVI adapter plus a USB - DVI adapter which'll be a lot more cost effective.

    Matrox DualHead2Go is the only solution I know that combines both to the single TB/mDP port. As @mattferg says you could connect one monitor to the TB/mDP port using a mDP->DVI adapter and then drive the 2nd monitor with a USB-DVI converter, cheaper but messier.
