DAMN!!!! I emailed my brother this morning (who is the ultimate Mr Wizard) and said (because he thinks of this kind of shit in his sleep) "I need you to spec me out a super whiz bang computer for my desk at my office that in 2 years I can also turn in to an inhouse server to replace my current server....that does everything NASA ever did, wanted to do, might imagine doing, wish they could, would do if they could....something I could afford in like 6 - 10 months...."

He just called me and told me "I've got the perfect computer for you and....it's 5 inches by 5 inches by 1.5 inches, 3 terabytes, super fast this that and the other thing, it can be your server now...or in 2 years....and...it can support 4K video (which I need for doing my bids), it has bluetooth (something or other), 5 USB 3.0 (thingies which I think I understood....is significantly faster than USB less than 3.0)....then he proceeded to explain to me that it had about 9 other things (which haven't actually even been invented yet), and I said..."so...how much is this gonna cost me?" and he said "well....I already bought it, it'll be here in a week and.....it's my gift to you".

I have NO idea what this thing costs but....it's gotta be close to 8 billion dollars. So...if anyone needs an analysis on when the Earth will stop revolving around the Sun, or if you need your entire DNA sequencing done for you....I'm guessing this thing will figure that out in about 7 minutes.

This thing is insane!

I have no idea....something like The Brix.

All I know is, I'll finally be able to finish my antigrav machine when this thing arrives.

No...it's Win 7 - 64....I told him (apparently it comes, standard with Win 10)..."PUHLEASE tell me you bought me Win 7?"

He did. Win 7/64....with some ungodly amount of RAM (12 I think he said?)

It's got no fan, has a 1 TB SSD (WTF!!!!) and a 2TB SCSI...uses 64 watts, handles 4K....3 Monitors!!!

WUT????

WUUUUUT??????

Seriously....the guy is Mr Wizard....if it's about computers....he knows.

I'm just like..."Is this even possible?"
