    Single UART. Fully aware of breakage problems.

    Although it would take very little to adapt to a doubly linked ring, except that would require 2 uarts per node and most of these small devices only have 1.
    Also possible to design a switch type device and wire as a star, but again that requires added cost.

    Its supposed to be cheap/low resource rather than hyper robust.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Hypothetically speaking it doesn't have to use a single UART as it's transmission median though. Could be broadcast on nRF24's, run over SPI (either in bus or ring topologies, star wouldn't work so well), possible over 1-wire. Hypothetically encapsulated in an Ethernet frame. Would quite easily run on CAN however I don't see the point in doing so, CAN is an expensive feature for most of these small devices yet offers a similar feature set to what I am using. If you can support can you might aswell use it, although you could hypothetically have a mixed medium network I suppose.

    These days cooler master make (slap their badge on) some fairly good power supplies. The 80+ gold ones are pretty good and tend to get very good reviews.

    Don't worry. When I boot my PC it sounds like a fighter jet.

    Does anyone happen to know the cooling capacity for a thin 240mm radiator?

    Define thin. Define material. Define thickness of fins. Define number of fins.

    Too many variables. You would simply have to see what manufacturer states.

    My arm is completely knackered right now :/
    Clay pigeon shooting this morning, 12 gauge 28g 7[SUP]1[/SUP][SUB]2[/SUB]​ shot. Weed whacking this afternoon.

    No arm muscle to speak of. No fat to speak of. Skinny as fuck. Not good combo.

    I remember shooting clay pigeons.

    I managed to hit the first one, then missed, and I'm not exactly on the large end of the body scale, but I have to thank our Remington 870 and it's big butt for cushioning. XD

    I've also started playing Pokemon White and I must say that it's actually fun after the beginning. I never thought that there would be fun hidden underneath all of the battle grinding, but apparently there is.

    I just opened a bag of milka easter eggs filled with something.
    The first thing I saw was just an empty wrapper.
    Did someone at the factory decide that it would be a good idea to eat one of them?
    Or did someone forget to put something in there in the first place?

    I guess that's one reason to have somekind of QC.

    The stock AMD one as opposed to one with a custom cooler. Generally if it has one fan it is a reference card and if it has more then it is a custom card. The single fan design can be described as a blower design since air is designed to be sucked in by the fan and exhausted out the back. Custom cards blow air everywhere in general but can run faster and cooler provided you have decent airflow.
