Eurocom Adds Xeon X5690 CPU To Panther 2.0 Mobile Workstation

Eurocom has made a name for themselves over the years, primarily for producing some of the wildest, most cutting-edge notebooks out there. Of course, most of the baddest are all the biggest, but if your primary goal is to get a powerhouse, who really cares about size? The company's Panther 2.0 mobile server / workstation is one of those big beasts, and it's being updated today with a new chip from Intel.

The 3.46GHz Xeon Processor X5690 is the newest chip to fall into the machine, and it's also equipped with 3.25TB of hard drive space (it can handle four SATA-300 / SATA-600 drives!), a built-in Uninterrupted Power Supply, Gigabit Ethernet, a 17" 1080p LCD, plenty of room for 24GB of DDR3 memory, Wi-Fi, and options for NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 480M, GTX 470M, GTX 460M, Quadro FX 3800M and FX 5000M. No pricing information is available yet, but we're guessing "cheap" doesn't fit the paradigm with specifications like that.
