The Birth of a Motherboard

PegasosPPC.com has 6 new pictures from the production phase of the Pegasos II motherboard.  Looks very cool.  You can view them here.

@ Wayne

Give me a break.
Kees has already put a news item up about this.
Moderator please move this to the forums.

-Edit-

Nice looking board by the way.

@Jurassic

What is so very hard to understand?

1) I did not see Kees post, or I would not have posted it.

2) We moved those images to PegasosPPC.com SPECIFICALLY to keep DCE's servers from being overloaded for bandwidth.  There is no reason for them to pay for the image download bandwidth when that's what PegasosPPC.com's servers exist for.

3) It is not a forum post.  Pictures of the new motherboard in production are news.  Simple as that.

This is not rocket science.

 Those pics are amazing. Thanks for posting them. Its really cool to see the production process. That board is the feat of some very talented people. It is a work of art.

Has it entered "mass" production yet?

I'm asking because the news item on morphzone.org, covering the first released picture, said that this was a pre-production board. The ATX power connector hasn't been moved, and that static RAM drive is still there.

OTOH, if those are the only things differing from the "real thing", I don't see why it would have to change? OK, the RAM drive is probably quite a bit more expensive than a *PROM chip...

How long until I can buy one in the US?  And when I say buy one, I don't mean "when is the first production run done?"  I mean, WHEN CAN I, LOCATED in the USA, actually place an order for it and have it in my hands in, say, a week or so?  

*without* having to be a developer or betatester  :-?

Or fight off hordes of Euro MOS users with a cane?

Or have to order it from overseas, only to be back-ordered because the first production run is already spoken for?

Looks sweet. Hopefully it can run without a fan. I want the operating noise of my C64 back!  (e.g. SILENCE ;)

A G3 can run without a fan, certainly. You can even get powerful modern graphics cards that run without fans, like the Radeon 9000. I have both and neither make the slightest bit of noise.

But you're gonna find it hard to get a hard drive that's ultra-quiet, and even harder to get a silent PSU. They do exist though.
