Can someone give me a link or part number on the Raritan site? I see LCD consoles but they are the generic slide out versions. Looking for the netbook concept referenced below.... -Hammer- "I was a normal American nerd" -Jack Herer On 2/21/2012 3:51 AM, Owen DeLong wrote:
+1 for Raritan... I was very happy with their KVM switches at my last job.

Take a look at Raritan. We use their product to gain remote access to system consoles. No more driving 100s of miles. Ok, it would be 200 feet for us.

Then I fixed something while they were still looking for USB-Serial, etc. Speaking of that sort of thing, I'd really LOVE if there were a device about the size of a netbook that could be hooked up to otherwise headless machines in colos that would give you keyboard, video& mouse. i.e. a folding netbook shaped VGA monitor with USB keyboard and touchpad. I know there are folding rackmount versions of this (i.e. from Dell), but I want something far more portable. Twice in the past month, I'd had to drive 100+ miles to a remote colo and took a full size flat panel monitor and keyboard with me. Has anyone actually built this yet?
