2 KW motherboard

A while back I posted about a ridiculously large computer power supply. Alas, it was posted on April 1st.
This however was not posted on April first, and is really rather amazing.

This sort of marketing I enjoy;


I can possibly appreciate this somewhat more than most, having done a certain amount with electronics.
At around 2 volts, the percent of voltage drop can be appreciable, and with it comes heat. 

By the way, at the time of this post the motherboard has not been released. When it is, I think it likely the price tag may unfortunately scale with the power handling. It may not to a great degree, but I think it likely.

AC power

Here I am again, unplugging the subwoofer from the extension cord so that I can use the jigsaw outside.
I really need to find a good place to put it. The first place was beside the desk, and that worked well because there were plugs right next to it, and it could hook right to the speaker, but the way the acoustics work out, it's louder in the other room than where I usually listen. Right now I have it in the middle of the floor pointing at me, and that works well except I have to use an extension cord to plug it in, and it blocks the rack mount.
