The God Box: October 2009 Edition
- Tuesday, 27 October 2009 22:24
The God Box takes an unusual step in this update: it becomes substantially more simple. That's overstating things a bit, but AMD's Radeon HD 5800-series cards make the graphics choices very simple, we figure out a more workable motherboard, and with power consumption coming down below the stratosphere, the power supply choices get better.
That doesn't mean the God Box is becoming any less godly, though. It now packs almost twice the storage of before, perhaps the most (or close) video card power it's had, and has the most ridiculous looking (yet elegant) memory setup we've done. If only we could find a chassis we liked better, we'd be golden.
