Strong as a pitch fork

A trident is a long three pronged weapon. The word puts an image in my head of a determined looking old man, impossibly muscly for his advanced years, lunging out of the water, with not a salad fork, but a trident held valiantly above his head. Trident, a UK company that's an off-shoot of the multi-national distributor, Avnet, chose the word well in naming the company, which specialises in embedded hardware and devices. Embedded often means - stick me somewhere dirty, hot and out of sight. Like the new AMOS-3000.

"It is constructed in five pieces: the top cover, bottom plate, front and rear I/O panels and the DOM module, and is offered with desk, wall and VESA mounting options."

Versatile and built with solid materials worthy of the Trident name.

"The VIA AMOS-3000 is a based on the EPIA P700 Pico-ITX form factor board powered by either a 1GHz VIA C7 processor or an Ultra Low Voltage 500MHz VIA Eden processor."

So, solid, but also cool running and with no moving parts. More at TMCnet.com.
