    It's his custom-made "laptop". I use quotation marks because it is rather big and heavy for a laptop, but he seems to use it as one.

    The Octitron is my home made laptop.
    It is named appropriately, it has the ability to have 8 of everything. Hence "octi". I am a robot, thus the "tron"

    It has a 750 watt power supply as of now, which is integrated into the laptop.
    I havent used server 2008, but you cant play games on server 2003.
    Windows media player doesnt even work on server 2003.
    I am going to try server 08, hopefully it is more user friendly.

    when people donate the $500 or so I need to buy the aluminum to make the shell out of ;)

    I am taking a class to use the plasma three arm mill. I finish the class at the end of the semester. So hopefully by the end of the school year the chassis will be able to be machined.
    My system is still without a power supply because it took more than 2 weeks to get an RMA number from silverstone.
