The rugged 3U CyberResearch (Branford, CT) RMSC MX chassis are made of 1.6-mm steel that stands up to tough off-road mobile applications. The low height and 15-in. depth behind panel make this unit suitable for limited vehicle space. A 400-W EPS power supply handles five hard drives, seven expansion slots, and five cooling fans.
PCs for off-road mobile applications typically must fit tight spaces, provide plenty of drives and expansion slots, and stand up to the constant jostling produced by unpaved terrain or choppy waves.
With a generous 400-W EPS power supply, the chassis accepts a wide variety of ATX motherboards supporting high-powered Core(tm) 2 Quad, Core 2 Duo, and Pentium(r) 4 CPUs. The chassis comes with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive, plus four open drive bays that support SATA or IDE drives, depending on the motherboard selected. CPU, drives, and expansion boards are kept cool by two 80-mm fans on the front of the unit, one 60-mm fan on the rear, and two 40-mm fans on the power supply. A lockable front door provides access to two drive bays, two cooling fans, two USB ports, a power switch, and a reset switch.
In addition to RMSC MX chassis — now shipping from stock from $550 — CyberResearch also offers complete industrial PCs and monitors, as well as CPU cards, data acquisition, and motion control.
