Urs,

I had this opinion too when I had to decide what to buy as the base for an industrial test system.I personally prefer a real RT controller over a gray PC box. However this of course could be a viable option too, a bit bulky maybe. Will the PharLap OS control any DAQ boards in the PC box the same way it does it on a PXI form factor chassis.
I took a PXI-1010 combo chassis and a MXI-3 data link to a PC. Sounds good and has a good technical base, but is horribel to work side-by-side. Not really like a starting chessna airplane, but really disturbingly loud. It is designed to work in a rack housing. And thats what might be the only possibel solution in the long run (but can't be achieved in my case).
Anyway, a good PC (or Mac or whatever) is much more convinient to work aside.
AND, in my opinion, a modern (desktop) PC is even less bulky than the PXI-1010.
Just my € 0.02!
