Now, I have nothing size when it comes to gadgets (well, that’s actually not true; now that I think of it, there are many gadgets where size might matter), but I do have something against throwing in some relatively cheap components (wireless and USB connectivity and some picture viewing software) and then charging $1,199 for what would otherwise be just a seemingly typical 19" monitor. Maybe it shows pictures from the future. Now, that’s something I’d pay a little extra for.

Nothing too fancy here, just a dual-LCD monitor getup from NLS, the RFT-2L19, that fits in a server rack for much easier administration. I’ve often found myself jonesing for just such a thing while working on servers, thinking to myself: if only I could drag this window out of the way… Pretty standard fair, and no pricing, but could be a nice addition to any serious organization’s server room. Note that it uses 2U of rackspace, so something to keep in mind if your rack’s getting a bit tight.
