Macbook Air to run two 24" monitors

[fjmeat]

I want my MBA (late 2011 model) to run two 24" DVI monitors. I want the lid on the MBA to stay closed. Can this be done using the thunderbolt to DVI adapter and a USB to DVI adapter at the same time? I'd like to confirm before buying the setup.

Thanks!!

my understanding is this is our only option.

It shouldn't be turning off the USB in closed lid mode.

I have no idea what the issue was with the reviewer, but macrumers people have had good luck with it.

I was saying that thingy probably isn't necessary, if the OP has the USB-DVI adapter at least. Though, I would assume he doesn't if he is asking if it will work.

I have the thunderbolt to DVI; and the extend desktop (from MBA to monitor) works great. I'll need to get a USB to DVI to connect the second monitor. From the reviews I've read on macrumor as mentioned above, This should work pretty well to connect the second monitor. If I have to leave the lid slightly open I guess that's okay. I'll have the MBA in a desk in a ventilated drawer.
