If you remember, J0rdan posted about a Transmeta Server being produced by Rebel.com.Well, TransmetaZone has the scoop on a rack-mount transmeta server, the WebBunker from Fibercycle

To this effect, California based FiberCycle has announced the release of the WebBunker, a low-power, high-density server. What makes the WebBunker unique is that it is one of the first rack-mounting servers to incorporate Transmeta's mobile processor, Crusoe.

The WebBunker Model FC206i - the first of FiberCycle's WebBunker line of servers - will hit the market mid-second quarter this year for around $9,300 USD or about $1500 per CPU blade . The 2U rack-mounting unit has six independent single-cpu servers (it will be able to scale dual Crusoe processors shortly), dual redundant power supplies and IO blades all in one package. The FC206i will rely upon a 20Gb EIDE ATA-100 hard drive for permanent storage, and come equipped with 256Mb of onboard DDR SDRAM. One expansion DIMM slot will enable a maximum up 756Mb memory per CPU. Each of the six CPU bays contains a completely independent TM5600 Crusoe based server, with the CPU and system board up front, and the hard drive in rear.

#8088 Posted on: 02/17/2005 08:58 PM The Register has posted a review of IBM's Thinkpad T42p. The T42p sports ATI's Mobility Fire GL T2 workstation graphics chip. What sets a workstation chip apart from standard graphics chips is its certification for use with certain high-end graphical design packages. So if you want a notebook to run a CAD package, or a 3D rendering application, you'll want one that has a graphics chip approved by the software vendor. That way, when you run a preview of that complicated scene that you've been working on for days, you know it will work. This really does look like a mobile workstation. You might want to take a look.

#8091 Posted on: 02/17/2005 10:25 PM The guys over at SFFTech have posted a review of Iwill's ZMAXdp SFF. If I'm not mistaken, Hooz is running one of these units in the secret 2CPU.com underground test bunker. After previewing two "engineering samples" and now reviewing the final shipping product, we can confidently say that the ZMAXdp continues to amaze us.
