Pico-ITX unboxing

[Meowmiks]

I want to sleep with you.

[Fluffy4020]

So I want to take a PS3 case and put a computer inside of it. Can I plug a hard drive and Blu-Ray into that?

[CARLHALEY1964]

i am very happy for you

[OldTimeyJunk]

They need to make a HDD thats smaller than that!

[daejavoo]

@OldTimeyJunk - 1.8" HDDs are smaller than that :)

[batezippi]

@daejavoo ipod hdds rock! lol

[OldTimeyJunk]

@daejavoo I didn't know you could get HDD's that small. I've been looking for one! Thanks, man!

[borglanparty]

All of the cables look larger than the board

[guilmon999]

well this is nice but i rather stick with the beagle board

[surfingsuicune]

Got enough faggoty bracelets and wrist bands going there, chief?

[daejavoo]

You just made a homosexual comment about my bracelets, and then called me "Chief". I need not even respond :P

[surfingsuicune]

Since when does 'chief' connote sexual preference? I don't know its colloquial history in your country (I would presume Australia, but you may be a transplant), but here it's just like saying 'man' or 'dude', except more dated. I just say it for the lulz. But seriously, how can those 9000 bracelets not be annoying to wear?

[daejavoo]

I was yanking your chain :)

I don't know, they just aren't. I don't wear any anymore actually, but I wore bracelets like that for many years. Personal preference, I guess :)

[Ooska]

You just made a summarizing comment about the previous comment, and then decided to respond. I need not even respond :P

Stop arguing about gothic kid bracelets while Im trying to get my pico-itx on

[DJariko]

Hmm, have you any idea how these can perform Folding@Home application? They are very power effecienty and I've been wanting something like that, as GPU Folding eats a lot of wats and becomes expensive very fast.

As they have 1Ghz CPU I would think that they could make like ~100-200points per day (PPD), and like ten of these... it's 1000-2000points per day, same what cheap GPU does but this could be much more "green", not taking so much power to run, so it could come cheaper.

[tartredarrow]

it would still be more cost effective to run a singular GTS250.

You can get a GTS250 for $120 and it makes $500 points a day at the cost of 100 watts.

Thats one and a half regular lightbulbs.

[tartredarrow]

Oh wow.... that was dumb... i said $500 point....

I meant to say 6000 points a day.

[jacknco]

Whats the specific model on this board ?

[TL3C7Y]

How do you get sponsored? I have quite a few ideas what I want to do with something that size..

[TL3C7Y]

they can be a ot smaller, the new motherboards are called mobile-ITX.. you think the pico-ITX is small? HA

[spoox182]

that would be a perfect motherboard for my emulator-pc-project!

[geoff1188]

dude your hands are huge!

[MotionOrbProductions]

what OS did you use on it, and how well did it run

[daejavoo]

Yes, of course it works. It's a fully functional x86 board, and performs great. Sure, it's not a gaming system, but it does anything else pretty well.

[daejavoo]

Nope. It's a mainboard for a PC.

[phenomenalvideos]

HOLY COW

Thats a tiny motherboard, i wonder if they use similiar technology to make laptop motherboards
