Technology has to go into some unusual places. It's fun to find out
how people have taken a technical solution such as a rackmount LCD and
found a way to implement it in a unique situation. This article
describes a couple of ways to use these devices in a manner you may not
have previously considered.
Ask any IT person where they use a
rackmount LCD monitor and they will probably tell you that they are used
to support and monitor servers located in a datacenter. The monitor is
normally mounted inside a server cabinet or rack. When combined with a
keyboard/monitor/trackball device and KVM system they offer reduced
power and space requirements over assigning a monitor and keyboard to
each computer system. Instead, one rackmount LCD is used to manage
several computers.
Now that you understand that these devices save
space, energy and money, your mind may start thinking about where you
could use this type of solution. Here are some ways others have put the
rackmount LCD to use.
People who love gadgets enjoy figuring out
ways to put technology to use. Sometimes an idea to solve a connectivity
problem at home turns into a great technical innovation for use by the
military, commercial industry or in health care. Below are some odd
locations people positioned a rackmount LCD monitor.
High Tech Fishing -If you are a fisherman you probably are
aware of a number of different gadgets available on the market. Some
devices are sonar based depth finders or combination fish/depth finders
or mapping applications working in conjunction with GPS are a couple of
high tech gadgets available to the sport fisherman.
Commercial
fishermen make use of the same types of solutions, but on a larger
scale. Some commercial fishing companies even have full blown servers
onboard. These servers and supporting rackmount LCD devices may be
housed in a cabinet or mounted directly to shelves or cabinets within
the vessel.
At the Target Range-Each branch of the military makes
use of computers and advanced technology. One of the first places
computers were put to work was within the training of soldiers, sailors
and marines. This really came in handy on the target range. A server
running a scoring application and a rackmount LCD is installed in a
secured cabinet to the rear of the line of fire. This application tracks
the hits as the soldier fire at targets downrange. The range officer
can view the scores simply and safely behind
