Superguide: gZilla, tZilla, & vZilla are born! (gaming, thinkpad, & virtualization)

Posted by Paul Braren on Oct 1 2011 in

All of these systems have a focus on energy efficiency, with few frills to needlessly burn up watts. Built for the long haul, to serve my family's needs for the next 3-4 years. And they're pretty much bricks if access is unauthorized (RAID encryption, HDD passwords, etc). The content here is dynamic, so enjoy a glimpse now, but don't forget to revisit later for new additions to the family!

**Powerful, Efficient, and Fast**
