Re: Using the indusrial 486 pc from jameco

Only problem with that is the pentium part, draws gobs of power and
dissapates 90% of it as heat. I'm more interested in power consumption
right now than processing power. a 386 would be best as most 386's draw
only 1.2 amps. I'm trying to get a response on the EPC-30 from the company
that makes them on price but I dont expect much after their response of
wanting to know more about me before giving me a price.
