Some non-trivial Baer *-rings

A Baer *-ring is an *-algebra whose lattice of projections is complete. I know two well-handed kinds of these structures:

1- W*-algebras (abstract case of von Neumann algebras).

2- The inverse limit of W-algebras (called locally W-algebra).

Q. Does there exist any other type(s) of Baer *-rings?
