Need a PC that works in wet, greasy, nasty environments? Sure you do. Check out ICI Controls' SC240M, a completely sealed-up desktop housed in a filthproof aluminum case.
The specifications won't knock you out, but fanless operation is its own advertisement. If you can get it done with a 1.6 GHz Via C7 or 2 GHz Core 2 Duo, the SC240M will do it.
Configurations start at $1,700 for a 512 Mb model running Windows XP. Remember, folks, ruggedness magically multiplies the price of generic components. Add a 4GB flash card for only $175!
What's truly remarkable about it is its lovely ugliness: it resembles a prop from Alien 3. The case has protruding, nonremovable screw mounts machined onto it. Such an uncompromising insistence on industrial undesign is to be lauded.
