Re: [cobalt-users] Recycling a RaQ2 with an IA32 mobo

["Hong Gao Qiang" <gqhong@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't think so :)
Its a great idea. Well we all love the look of the Cobalts so why not make
something with the chasis but with a powerful processor?
But just one thing to note. The Power Supply box may not be able to support
the current day processors. I never done it before but it would be the same
as installing and piecing up PCs manually. Its just the power supply and to
get something able to fit into the little 1U box... :S
