- The war memorial.
gollark: Of course.
gollark: I was analyzing the possible things I could replace my old HP tower with (as of now it is not replaced but oh well), see, and there were two main options:- a raspberry pi + SSD + power supply + HDMI adapter thing for the screen + SSD case- literally my desktop with the GPU replaced with a fanless one
gollark: observe, transcoded video™
gollark: I primarily went for not using a pi because it was somehow more expensive (factoring in all the additional hardware) and because sometimes I run really heavy tasks like video transcoding and minecraft servers.
gollark: See, they can run off battery packs since they're low-power, meaning no nonsense like "power cuts" disrupting uptime.
