I would be interested to know this too, especially if it's CF plug part
is recessed into the card and doesn't have an annoying plastic thing
sticking outside.

* USB3, if you don't have an i7 X220
* eSATA, if you don't have some sort of Lenovo dock
* A general port replicator with DVI, if you don't want a whole dock
* A nice wifi card, if you're into war driving and such
* Mobile broadband, if you went the mSATA route
* (More) SSD storage, if you didn't go with mSATA, or mSATA just isn't
enough ultimate power
* Just a serial port, because you're that bad ass

In all seriousness I kind of want to know if one could boot from the
ExpressCard slot on the X220, though I don't think anyone makes
ExpressCards bigger than 96GB at the moment.
