So I saw this article on /. about burning up a some VIA chip, and for some reason I read it. I think because I thought there actually was an answer about how long it took for the chip to die without a heatsink. Apparently this is all some marketing stunt by VIA to promote their new ARTiGo Pico-ITX builder kit. Normally I don’t really care too much about this stuff, but I’ll admit that sometimes those modded cases are kind of cool, albeit in that incredibly lame way. The thing that caught my eye about the the Pico-ITX was that it’s smaller than a baseball, and is designed to fit (with a 2.5 inch IDE drive) into a 5.25 inch drive bay.
Wow. I can have multiple complete machines within my main machine. Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those! ;)
