NextComputing Unveils Monster Rig with Three Displays and 11TB
A New Hampshire company called NextComputing announced its latest rugged mobile PC, the Vigor Evo. This little beast was created for military and homeland security chores and comes configurable with up to three displays (integrated 17-inch HD display and optional 2nd and 3rd swing-out displays for panoramic viewing) so three people can run mission critical apps at once.
"Our Vigor series rugged portable workstations and servers have been known in the industry for their top-end performance and flexible, modular design approach which allows the systems to be extremely versatile, while remaining small, lightweight, and efficient," says Bob Labadini, President & CTO of NextComputing. "Our unique FleXtreme architecture allows us to adapt our products quickly to changing market needs. The Vigor Evo Plus is a perfect example of this engineering philosophy, and was designed to satisfy the compute-intensive requirements of today’s C4ISR programs."
Hardware consists of a rugged mil-anodized external chassis and shock-mounted internal chassis, up to two Intel Xeon processors, up to 16GB of ECC RAM, 11TB of storage, and up to six full-length PCI Express cards.

Only 16GB? I would expect at least in the triple digits for a system like this.

I've seen one of the previous models used where I work. They're really cool, but they're also freakin' loud

We also had one of these at the place I work. I wouldn't say they're loud, compared to a server with the same specs (2x 5400 seriers Xeons) they're actually pretty good. I'm not sure I'd call the additional LCD displays military grade though. I was scared that thing might break if it took a hard enough hit.
Also, if this unit is just released, why is it still using LGA771? LGA1366 been around long time now; 5400s are obsolete. These things are ridicoulsly over priced; I'd rather slap together a micro-atx box with a single 980X for 1/5th the price.
