[H]ardOCP:

VIA Arena has taken a VIA EPIA PX5000EG Pico-ITX board, stripped off all the heat sinks, and is taking bets on how long the board will last running under full load. The person that guesses the closest wins a complete VIA ARTiGO Builder Kit.



We will video the VIA EPIA PX5000EG running Ubuntu 8.04 Linux, playing an Mpeg-4 video, naked, so to speak. How long will it last?! The maximum length of this competition test will be two weeks. At that stage we’ll we’ll take a hair dryer to it, turn the heating up in the room, anything to make it crash! That’s if it lasts that long in the first place. The video of the testing will be released as our way of making the announcement of the winning guess.
