 This is probably the most elite GeForce GTX 260 possibly available. Sporting a dual-fan design, this highly overclocked N260GTX Lightning is the world's first 10-phase power design for a single-GPU graphics card. Marketed as military-grade design, it has 1.8GB of GDDR3 memory (double the normal) and even has a monitoring panel known as AirForce panel. Furthermore, it has native HDMI outputs and has an LED display readout on the fans showing its temperature and fan speed in real-time. Truly an over-the-top GeForce GTX 260 for your consideration.

 This is the AiForce monitoring panel.

 This is the MSI Fire40, the first first Atom-based network security appliance 1U barebones server. Specs include an Atom 230 or 330 processor, four Gigabit LAN ports, up to 2GB memory, two SATA drives and a 220W PSU.

 For more performance in a thermally constrained environment, this PM-102-A2 barebones server uses a Centrino 2 platform utilizing a mobile Core 2 Duo processor.

 This is the MSI 5500 Master-S8M and is based on the Intel 5500 chipset to support the new Nehalem based dual Xeon 5500 series processors.

 These are the specs of the MSI 5500 Master-S8M.

 To get up to four of the Nehalem-class Xeon 5500 series processors up and running, MSI has this barebones 28-inch 1U rackmount server, the X2-111-A8M. Take note that this isn't a native quad-socket board, but two Intel 5500 chipset based boards. Now that's an interesting solution while Intel is still validating quad-socket Xeon 7000 series Nehalem class processors. With 24 DDR3 DIMM slots on this server, it supports both registered an unregistered memory for a total of 196GB. It also supports up to eight SATA II 2.5-inch HDD (four per board), dual PEG riser slots, quad Gigabit LAN ports, eight USB 2.0 ports, two Infiniband ports and a 1KW PSU to support it all.
