device that is.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s a lunchbox computer, which\u00a0has admittedly faded from the mainstream PC market, although it does still have an element of charm about its design.<\/p>\n<p>Lunchbox computers are essentially fold-out PCs\u00a0with a case on the back of the monitor, which allows you to use full desktop components in your rig.<\/p>\n<p>This lunchbox PC is called the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/acmeportable.de\/products\/flexpac-iii\" target=\"_blank\">FlexPAC III<\/a><\/strong>, and boasts three monitors\u00a0along with support for an SLI graphics card setup.<\/p>\n<p>Each monitor is a 17-inch Full HD display which folds out from the &#8220;lunchbox&#8221; when deployed, allowing you to game or work on three monitors with relatively small bezels.<\/p>\n<p>Portable PC retailers <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/acmeportable.de\/\" target=\"_blank\">ACME Portable<\/a><\/strong> have continued to produce lunchbox computers, so you could technically purchase a FlexPAC III with the latest gaming hardware inside.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the specifications of the FlexPAC III:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>LCD Displays:\u00a0<\/strong>17.3-inch Full
