Commell has announced the HE-772 Half-Size PCI-bus SBC based on the Atom processor. The available processors are the N450 (1.66GHz, 512KB cache), D410 (1.66GHZ, 512KB cache), and the D510 (Dual Core 1.66 GHz, 1MB cache). These are low power systems with the N450 having a TDP of 5.5Watts, D450 10W, and the D510 13W. This system becomes ideal for manufacturing purposes due to its small form factor, 6 x COM ports, and high performance-per-watt ratio. Complete Specs may be found directly at Commell's site: HE-772 Global American is a registered Commell US distributor and may be reached here: www.globalamericaninc.com [caption id="attachment_215" align="alignnone" width="300" caption="HE-772"][/caption]

Intel's RAID cards that are based on LSI SAS2108 (LSI MegaRAID) have unlockable premium features that can be accessed via a dongle that plugs into the RAID card. The features that can be unlocked are the following: SSD Cache with Fast Path IO Uses SSD's as additional cache to the RAID controller, this allows for data that is frequently accessed to be cached for faster access Improves the speed of SSD's by providing up to 150,000 I/O reads per second, which is ideal for small reads of the hard drive. Drive Encryption Management Enables authentication key management, auto-lock, and instant erase of self-encrypting drives Helps reduce risk of data being compromised when drives eventually leave the data center Significantly reduces the cost and time of re-purposing or retiring drives Rapid Recovery Snapshot Allows users to capture source volume data changes and either restore files or roll back applications to previous point in time Recovers lost data from data from disk in minutes, minimizing the downtime that users experience and eliminating the lengthy process of restoring data from tape Allows isolation of a server's boot volume to a separate virtual drive; by enabling the Auto Snapshot feature, users are guaranteed that bootable snapshots exist, in case corruption of the operating system occurs More information available at www.intel.com/go/raid

A Panel PC is a computer which has the display and chassis incorporated into one device. The traditional panel pc was made up of a chassis, power supply, backplane, SBC (single board computer), expansion cards (when applicable through backplane), cooling system, and a display panel. These panel pc's offer many expansion opportunities to customize the panel pc to the customers needs. Recently panel pc's have been getting smaller and smaller with the use of mini-ITX motherboards. These mini-itx mother boards provide a smaller form factor to suit limited space requirements as well as consuming less power than the older panel pc's. Most panel pc's you will find these days will use a touchscreen display panel as the HMI (human machine interface) rather than the mouse and keyboard. This touch screen technology has many advantages such as reliability, clarity, accuracy, responsiveness, and ease of installation and use. Panel pc's are used in a variety of sectors such as medical, industrial, commercial, and military.

Global American offers us four of OPUS's vehicle power supply units: DCA5.080.12, DCX3, DCX6.250 and DCX6.360. Offering 80W, 120W, 250W and 360W respectively, they give users more protection and functionality than a traditional power supply connected to an power inverter. Offering smaller form factor, since space is always an issue when installing an PC within an car, along with minimal output cabling to help avoid clutter, these units pair up well with any mini-ITX system. Featuring an auto-shutdown function, which shuts down the system when turn your vehicle off. This feature can be placed on an delay, such as 10min to avoid having to restart your PC, if you were leaving your vehicle off only a few minutes. Another benefit of this power supply is remote output. This will allows you to attach various devices, via electronic relay or direct connection, that will only turn on while the power supply is turned on. This will give the user the ability to turn on any monitor, amplifier or any other equipment that is only required to be running, if the PC is running. The advanced protection comes from the automatic shutdown, which detects when the vehicles battery is below a certain voltage. The actual voltage is determined via jumper on the power supply. Also, these power supplies are fused with an appropriately sized mini-blade fuse depending on the wattage. If your interested in building a CarPC, you need to make sure you have the correct tools for the job. When it comes to power supplies, these will offer all the functionality and protection you need.
