gollark: Yes, I'm aware.
gollark: I also had a server rack with a bunch of devices with linked cards (and wireless ones) relaying packets to remote locations, and under heavy load *that* apparently sometimes just crashes despite being connected to a several-kRF/t power supply.
gollark: OC's power requirements can also be annoying sometimes, because apparently my long-range communication relay cubes need something like 300RF/t in RTG capacity to avoid shutting down under heavy load.
gollark: The complexity limits are very low, and there are 2 card slots.
gollark: Yes, if it fits a wireless card.
