DuroPC also offers motherboard versions of 19” industrial, rugged, 1U, 2U, 4U, 5U rack mountable computers. Included in the motherboard category are long life revision controlled ATX motherboards as well as the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) ATX motherboards from Intel, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, SuperMicro. Long life revision controlled motherboards offer a 3-5 year life expectancy. We offer motherboards with ISA slots, PCI slots, PCI-X slots, AGP slots, PCI-Express x1 slots, and PCI-Express x16 slots. Chassis have the same ruggedized, industrial features as the passive backplane / SBC versions.

All rack mount systems are configurable with our 1U rackmount keyboard drawers, 15”/17”/19” rackmount or panel mount LCD’s, or any of our 1U Keyboard, Video and Mouse drawers (KVMs) with and without an 8 port switch. Rack mount and panel mount monitors are available with or without resistive touch screen.

A unique feature of the DuroPC PICMG 1.3 backplane systems is the support for both ISA, PCI, and PCI Express bus structures. Most other manufacturers only support PCI and PCI Express. If you require systems with supprt for all 3 bus types, DuroPC is the answer.

Embedded Computers

DuroPC embedded computers are compact, fully-functional, rugged industrial computers. These DuroPC systems are also based (on an embedded computing platform solution) around a Single Board Computer (SBC) that includes all IO (Video, Audio, Etherent, USB, Serial, Parallel, PC/104, PCI/104, PC/104+, PCI, PCIe, Mini PCI, Mini PCI Type-III, ISA, SATA, IDE, PATA-100, ) as well as CPU, memory and complete, state of the art chip-sets.
