Under most circumstances, we too would take one glance at the monolith pictured above and scream in horror. But of course, we're entirely sure you're familiar with the wacky machines emerging from
NextComputing. The ultra-tough Vigor Evo HD is hailed as the company's "highest performance rugged workstation," and besides offering up a floating chassis which absorbs all sorts of bumps and shocks, it also comes with a 17-inch LCD plastered right on the side. Said panel is covered with a hard-coated protective screen, and sitting just beneath that is your choice of AMD / Intel processors, up to four PCIe or PCI-X 64-bit slots, a dual-layer DVD writer, up to 3TB of internal HDD space and most everything else you'd find in a pre-fab desktop. Of course, it loses the vast majority of its intimidation factor when equipped with the optional wheels / telescoping handle package, but we won't tell anyone if you're not man / woman enough to lug it over your shoulder.

hey, as a prank i'm gonna put that on a cart and use it in starbucks!
If only they made this a bit smaller and in a form that would fit in one's lap.
you're looking a bit Jason Schwartzman from Darjeeling Limited there
Does it come with Microsoft Surface?
XP: 'nuff said.
I think it would look a lot nicer with a RAGLAN pullover!
Sigh..........
It would have to be a pretty big pullover...do they make them that big?
Wait, it doesn't run NeXTSTEP?
Actually, it looks like a mod someone would come up with . . . pretty cool if you ask me.
but anyway, why the hell would you put the screen on the outside of the case? is it that hard to be bothered to open the beast? and for something so super strong, the "hard-coated protective screen" is certainly its weak point...unless it's bulletproof
My assumption is to avoid hinges, which would be it's weak point, assuming the screen cover is bulletproof or close to it.
Wouldn't this make the TSA's head explode?
You need to take it out of the case... but it is the case... aaaaahhhhh!
Wow, Nice adventure with little pranks.
reminds me of my pc, see my site for a photo. this thing has to be at least 30-40lbs...

@Lowest Ranked, theres a reason it runs XP. Its a stable computer, get it? i'm so bad at jokes
I know a couple families with kids who have serious ADD that would put this to the test.
I think about those people who use those backpack/ rolling suitcases around the airport. I chuckle to myself when I see those people. Seeing someone rolling one of these things around an airport would make me LOL like I've never LOL'd before.
the wallpaper should be like, an image of the inside of the case
Seconded!
Kaypro XP?
I don't know, that would be pretty convenient to have for a lan party. Plug in mice and keyboard and you are good to go
Is that handkle deliberately unergomic? What would have been wrong with making a more cushioning/friendly handle. Just cause it is rugged doesnt mean it has to be devoid of any ergonomics.
I hate unergomic handkles!
I have one of these. I use it as a heater in my bathroom in winter...
Finally, a truly theft-proof computer! Nobody could or would *yoink* that!
3 TB is not enough! I have 1 TB and I'm almost out of space!
I hate you. So Much. I have 80 gigs split between OS X and Windows until I can buy an upgrade somewhere. So Much.
Now how do you dissemble this windows nuclear device, Detonation in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6. . .
