[SLUG] Slightly OT: Hardware query

G'day all,

Apologies if this is a bit off topic but I am a

bit desperate for time and the input of

the intelligent and experienced people on this list

would be greatly appreciated.

I need to get a demo setup running which will have

2 LINUX boxes and 2 Win boxes,

networked via 10/100Mb Ethernet

The big catches are;

The system has to travel and function overseas.

The 2 windows boxes have to be pretty good PC's

with a really good AGP, 3D graphics card.

I was thinking along the lines of.

A rackmount solution in a flight case to

integrate everything in one big plug-in-and-turn-on bundle.

Or dodgily modifying our current setup

which involves some how cramming 2

PC's in a smaller space than one currently

takes up and getting 2 Laptops to run LINUX.

So, size and weight are an obvious issue but I

like the rackmont idea because it reduces the

possiblity of operator error in connecting/hooking up

the system when it comes time to do the demo.

I am sure similar situations have arisen before(haven't they)?

Please share any ideas, thoughts suggestions experiences.

TIA
