:D

Fake advert for a fictional NewTek product. Nabbed the idea from the no longer in production ART VPS 'Raybox'.

Very clean. Excellent.

The funny thing is, it was be an extremely easy appliance to create. A solid state (upgradable) rendering system with multiprocessor arrays is actually quite simple and extremely effective. The question would be if they have a big enough presence in the industry to warrant the manufacturing costs.

Really cool Matt.

The original Screamer developed by Newtek was something along these lines. I remember seeing info about it back around 1993 or 94, seems like it was a streamlined looking tower box. I don't think it ever made it into production as a piece of hardware, and was only released as the software component ScreamerNet. Could be wrong, I think that's how the story goes.

I'd like to see something like this as a real product. Nice image and concept.

DEC alpha? Yea I used to use one. 266 mhz seemed like a lot of power back then.

Very nice, it would impress my customers if I had these instead of my $60 boxes for the new i7s. Customer would believe that everything runs a lot faster!
