Flextop Computers - The Next Big Thing?
What in the world is a flextop computer? Apparently it's a standard for portable PCs that has been around for a while. Who knew? Manufacturer NexComputing created the first flextop computers back in 2005. They've updated their line and believe me, they pack quite a punch.
Looking at their NextDimension Pro and Evo lines their flextop PCs are beefy dual or quad-core systems packed into a small briefcase form-factor. With the power of dual quad-core Xeon processors, support for 24GB of RAM, 8 SATA drives, 4 PCI Express slots and 2 gigabit ethernet ports, these PCs will hold their own just fine against some of the finest servers out there.
No word yet on just how much these latest models will run you, but I'm sure you can expect to pay a premium for these. Just imagine the reaction you'd get if someone brought one to your next LAN party!
