careful with wind up cords, i dont know for sure but you might get significant eddy currents unless you fully unwind it when in use

I have one traditional desktop that I keep updated with new parts; it's a fairly small case with a handle on top, but you can still fit a full atx mobo. I have a bag for it so it's easy to transport. The tiny form factor desktops are nice too, like the mac mini and the like. Kind of want to get an intel nuc sometime soon

the other night i parked on the street when i got home, and when I got out of the car a cop goes speeding past me, goes down the street, and pulls a u-ey back towards me. so i stood next to the car instead of crossing the street cuz hey, not gonna get run over by a suv with a cow catcher. then the cop screeches to a halt and waves to me to cross :confuoot:
