RE: I was surprised to find this unusual transportation recently, and he was pretty sweet!
oh ok sir smithlabs..so the new computers don't take hardly any power?

I will just need to select one that draws less power, or build a new power supply myself....
:'(ok..sir smithlabs do they say on them when you buy them..how much power they use?
Don't know what they will draw, until I look.This one has a 650 watt power supply, and probably draws 450 watts. I may need to go to a laptop mother board for the next build.Worst case I will be forced to buy a laptop, for minimal power use.
;Doh wow, are you sure you'd be forced to? has to be a work-around for that problem.
I have not bought a complete computer in 15+ years. I prefer to build what I want into a machine. Buying a laptop, would be a big step down, simply to save time.
Not sure if I will do that or not. I still need to review power possibilities with current hardware first. Then I need to decide if I will power the unit directly from the 24 volt house buss.
:Osir smithlabs..I understand..are you even going to hook up to the local electric company?
It is connected now. I just need to decide if I will leave it connected or not. But I am planning not to be connected.
I may want to sell power back to them from the wind generators, instead of using a dump load. I will need to see how much they generate to decide.
♡♡♡oh ok well sir smithlabs I didn't know that you were doing wind power too, I was thinking solar, you have windmills?
