You can get mass-produced cases that small? If you can that might be a good
idea. Since this thread is rapidly mutating into "MISC Personal Computers",
I'll toss out some ideas...
- I am assuming that it would use an FPGA... How fast can those things go?
- Use PS/2 mouse/keyboard ports... so I can avoid using serial mice...
- For the far future: multi-cored processors anyone?
- Use standard SDRAM... Nowadays it comes in an 8ns variety. That's 125
MHz with a CAS latency of 2. 64-bit though.
