San Diego, Calif. - January 13, 2009 - Chassis Plans, The Original Industrial Computer Source , releases the MP3X17 rugged enterprise grade portable computer. This unique system provides three 17-inch SXGA 1280x1024 LCD screens with an effective total resolution of 3840x1024. This is an ideal system for flight line test and measurement systems, UAV flight control, forensics, and so forth where multiple monitors are necessary for ease of use.
The system is ruggedized with all aluminum outer construction and an inner aluminum structural frame. Rubber bumpers are provided on all eight corners to help mitigate rough handling.
Provision is made for mounting a standard ATX motherboard (9.6 x 12") with all seven card slot I/O externally accessible, as is the motherboard I/O plate. A card hold-down system assures the cards stay seated in the motherboard connectors. Power is provided by a standard PS/2 style power supply and AC and DC input supplies are available.
The right side of the system provides three hot-swap SATA drive carriers with locks and a slot fed double layer DVD-RW drive. Rugged enterprise class hard drives are provided in integrated systems. The drives can be configured in a variety of RAID configurations depending on the installed motherboard and drive controller.
Included is a detachable 87-key keyboard with a touch pad. The keyboard assembly attaches to the front of the system when the LCDs are closed to provide a single unit for transportation. Two USB ports on the right side allow use of an external track ball, joy stick or other input device.
The LCD screens are provided with an anti-glare hard coating. Options for bonded glass enhancement filters, high bright daylight enhancements, and touch screens are available. The three LCDs are driven by an internal DVI splitter allowing all three screens to operate from a single graphic card's DVI output. Optionally, each LCD can be provided with a separate DVI input if the mission software requires in independent display control for enhanced performance.
Systems are offered with domestically manufactured long life motherboards providing multi-core performance and the latest chip set support. High quality enterprise class hard drives and high performance Graphics Processing Units make the MP3X17 unparalleled in portable computer features, longevity and quality.
The MP3X17 is intended for rugged military applications where multi screen display, available high performance motherboard features, and the ability to install standard I/O cards make the application not suitable for a laptop or single display portable system.
