I can "amaze" people with the fact that an on-topic computer (my dual R10000 250Mhz Octane was manufactured in 1997 ;-) can run Firefox 2.0 with a bunch of tabs open whilst running an OpenGL demo elsewhere on screen, all at a resolution of 1280x1024. Well it always impresses me, anyway! I've an Acorn Master 512 that might as well make an appearance, and another with an internal Torch Z80 copro. Games consoles coming out my ears as well if anyone cares to see what real "boxed" Radiant Silvergun on a real Saturn looks like. Perhaps not the consoles :-) In terms of power requirements only the Challenge requires a 20A supply. -Austin.
