Comment on 2013 Review in Tech by Warren https://randomfoo.net/2013/12/31/2013-review-in-tech/comment-page-1#comment-62140 Wed, 29 Nov 2017 18:05:00 +0000 http://randomfoo.net/?p=6248#comment-62140 Nice post, Leonard. Also excited about open hardware lately and have been doing some hacking, soldering myself.

Separately, Doc Searls’s Open VRM project was an interesting idea… I wonder if any of that type of thinking is being applied to security makes any sense.

I’m doing some research about running a mini pc on batteries. My question is: could I install a battery monitoring program so my PC could see the battery level just like a laptop does?

This would be easier with deep cycles and inverters as I understand, in fact I may just use li ion to inverter to psu if necessary, but am curios if anyone would have any suggestions for a build like this, only difference being that I would consume 200 watt for cpu and mobo, with 3 gpus each pulling 250 watt tdp, although I would likely limit the draw to around 165 I would prefer to use the 250 tdp with some estranged headroom.

Any response is apreciated.

The HDPLEX is built for PCs so you shouldn’t need to do anything hooking up to the motherboard, etc (some people recommend making your own harnesses to make the cabling neater, but I’m lazy and just did extra cramming).

Did you roll your own cabling for this?
