A waterproof rugged computer with military-grade connectors, the Germane XtremeBox GSC-1100D has a sealed aluminum housing with MIL-38999 connectors, all of which are designed to operate submerged in one meter of water. Engineers designed the GSC-1100D without a fan so that the box is solid and resistant to sand and dust. It uses a custom cold-plate design that lets the unit operate under full CPU load from -40° C to +75° C. In addition, the chassis is designed to continue running even when subjected to repeated vibration and shock in excess of 30 G.

The system comes with a 2.5 GHz dual-core Intel i7 processor, dual solid-state hard drives, four 1 Gigabit Ethernet ports, integrated PCI/104, and two PCIe Mini card slots to facilitate user flexibility. Additional features include 4 GB ECC SDRAM memory (soldered), single 8 GB DDR3 SODIMM (204 pin), two SSD or HDD SATA 3.0, four 1 G Ethernet ports, MIL-38999 connectors, IP67 rating, four USB 3.0 ports, and one PCI/104 port.
