re loading OS into CPU. If the OS wasn't that complex *and* the GPU has access to the devices it needs to run, then yes, it is possible. The raspberry pi boot scheme does exactly that (if one considers a loader to be a really simple OS): https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/10489/how-does-raspberry-pi-boot

Question Steve, my sister is a big Mac OS person but she's seen my brother's PC I built him for Christmas (2700 Very slight OC 3200 Ram 2060KO basic components) and she wants me to build one for her too but with Mac OS. Is this something worth doing and if not why so I can tell and show her?

Many cycling trainers show power output, and if they are driving electrical generators, they're very accurate! 400W is a power level that an elite cyclist generates during races e.g. Tour de France. They can do it for hours, but those guys are unreal! When I was in pretty good shape, on a good day, I could sustain 180W for an hour - 220W for a short sprint. If you ever get access to one of those trainers, it's a good physical demonstration of how much power we use in our homes on any given day. I had this same kind of awakening the first time I tried pushing a car uphill. Internal combustion engines also perform amazing feats of strength.

Curious, I notice that never seem to install the Motherboards' I/O Shield - is there a reason for that, and does it make a difference? (I guess if you switch Motherboards 20 times a day, it makes sense, but I wonder if it has any effect on case thermals, or if it's all the same as if it were installed except looking ugly)

Since an AIO mounted on the top of a case is horizontal, should AIOs be optimally mounted on the front of a case so that there is a 'bottom' of the AIO to align the tubes lower?

say 'hand tight' 10x fast.

about the tube orientation: doesn't most of the air permeation happen in the tubes? and then the liquid, containing disolved air will be caried into the block where it gets heated. the heating reduces the solubility of the gases and might lead to air bubbles forming in the block. wouldn't that be problematic as they could get trapped in the block and reduce the cooling capability significantly. with the tubes on the top the air could more easaly escape to the top. So the big question is, is there enough liquid flow to move all the air out of the block and pump?(should be no problem at high pump speed) but what about low pump speed? I am just curious, not a expert any of these subjects.
