Alright, Internet: How’s This For a Hit?
At Logic Supply, we take pride in designing and providing rugged, durable systems and enclosures. But ruggedness is not a thing to be talked about: It’s a thing to be demonstrated — and sometimes pushed to the limit. In light of that, a few months ago we sought to create a video that showcased our systems’ toughness.
The idea was simple: We’d hit the computer with a baseball bat. It didn’t need to be a hard hit, because most computers aren’t often hit with baseball bats. We posted that video about six months ago, and thought it was a success. Apparently, though, the internet world wasn’t convinced. No matter: We’re nothing if not up for a challenge. Continue Reading 
System Comparison: Intel “Ice Canyon” NUC vs LGX AG960 NUC
NUC systems in-box
Late last year, Intel released the 4-by-4-inch Next Unit of Computing Form Factor. Housed in a tiny case of Intel’s own design, their NUC system, the DC3217IYE “Ice Canyon”, offers consumers a smart, super-small solution for home media and desktop replacement.
Soon after the launch of the Intel system, the LGX product engineering team began thinking about how to capitalize on the qualities of the NUC motherboard (small + powerful) and apply them to the embedded market. The result is the NUC-based AG960 system.
So what does a commercial NUC look like? And how does it compare to its consumer cousin? I worked with Logic Supply’s Field Application Engineer Casey Atherton and Support Technician Travis Bigelow to test and describe some key differences. Continue Reading
Girl Develop It Code & Coffee Meetup at Logic Supply
May 8, 2013 – The Logic Supply team welcomed Girl Develop It Burlington (GDI) with open arms to a “Code & Coffee” (and cupcake!) event at its South Burlington headquarters this Tuesday. The event was an enthusiastic encouragement to women involved in tech.
Girl Develop It, a non-profit aimed at bridging the gender gap in tech-related fields, began in New York in 2010. GDI offers classes designed for women to learn computer programming and technical skills in a social and collaborative environment. GDI has chapters across the United States, and Burlington was added to the list earlier this year. Continue Reading
Rackmount Cases, You Say? The MK100 is the Last 1U’ll Ever Need!
Alright, it’s a cheesy pun. But we’re serious: As far as 1U rackmount cases go, the MK100 is so strong and versatile that we can’t imagine why you’d need another. Why’s that? Let’s take a look at the specs. Continue Reading
