Yes, but what FPS can it run Crysis at? :/

 

[Creig]

Gonna be a bitch hooking up the power supply cables.

 

[Trepidati0n]

what is crazy is the efficiency of these ultra small platforms are getting to the point of where human body heat is enough to run them with a proper harvester.

The amount of cool stuff around me on all sides here at the U of M is one of the collateral reasons I love my job so much.

"Computer" is a stretch... It's a mote.
