"Darth Vader's Lunchbox"

Building a high quality "Luggable Laptop" to give you all the amenities of home when you're out. SCSI 3 10K rpm RAID, touch screen LCD, Athlon 2600, NVidia Quadro, 200GB IDE storage, at under $700. It has no battery, and weighs 30 pounds, needless to say this is not for watching in-flight DVDs, but this metal briefcase *is* carry-on size, so you can sleep easy knowing it's safe overhead.
