Very impressed, is that an antistatic mat under the motherboard in the second picture, and if it is well done, you would be surprised how many people just put their
highly priced boards /cards/ memory straight onto the bed or the carpet,
definitely a no no for me, anyway keep up the good work.

Thanks.
Yup, antistatic mat. Sometimes I even use an antistatic strap/thingy with the alligator clip. "Sometimes" is the operative word, 'cuz it's that one time you reach into a case for something without a strap that mother nature decides to send dry air your way and pour on the static electricity.

I think for the bedroom or kitchen, you'd want one even smaller. Maybe something with the same Zotac ION board, but with an onboard DC-DC power supply so you can use a tiny miniITX case without a power supply.
Maybe something like this:

Just finishing up on this one, too. It streams 1080p from my Home Server @ around 13% CPU usage (not overclocked). Now all I need is a 1080p Television.....

Is it just me, or does that have 4 CPU's or look like it has 4 CPU's?

You mean the big heat sink? The ION heats up more than the Atom processor so they use a big heat sink over everything. That way, you can run it fanless.

It is going to sink anyday now...

the move might be an investment that ends up "sinking" in the end...

We're not sinking, were separating from the union ... The south shall rise again!

There are some real country/hick parts of Florida too, the only up-side is it doesn't (usually) snow in most of them and you very well could end up with a cow for a neighbor. :sarc:

Florida will not sink. Georgia sux too hard.

Roll Tide!

Isn't "Roll Tide" Alabama? :shock:

Indeed...most restaurants in Marion serve those religiously...

I find that I don't really like them that much....

As for nice/rude people Asheville, Spruce Pine, and Morganton are normally the places where you might meet with hostility. Asheville has hostile traffic (very hostile), Spruce Pine has hostile Wal-Mart shoppers, and Morganton has hostile street goers (for the most part....)

Around Christmas last year I was buying something at Super Wal-Mart in Spruce Pine (a Guitar Hero IV + Guitar bundle) and it was the last one. I went to grab it when a sweet-looking (I stress the looking part) Grandma shoved me with a shopping cart to get it. I let it go and followed her around a bit. She sat it down near a shelf to grab something (I can't remember) and I grabbed it without her noticing.

She hadn't paid for it yet so fair game...

 

[holo88]

haha. Walmart in any state/country/world is hostile during the holidays. and traffic? i cant honestly say i miss traffic... and most other signs of life... really guys, i live WAY out there.

I see...

I normally don't go to Wal-Mart period..I hate the place

My Mom has some war stories about Christmas shopping at Wal-Mart in Spruce Pine. She wears knee and shoulder pads when she does holiday shopping up there because it gets so bad...

Yeah. Granny told us about you. No worries, Junior got a Barbie doll.

Not that's there's anything wrong with that.

Live and let live
