It seems so, since it accepts the engine that I pass it in ('-engine padlock'), whereas it complains if I pass it a different engine with hardware that it can't find > the OP has a dual-core board -- I was interested in `ubench` of that, > as that's the board I want to buy somiteme (maybe)...

My own lack of knowledge is keeping me from knowing where to start researching :) I don't know what an AC/DC converter looks like or what search terms to use, so I've been slowly asking some hardware-type guys. Next step is to call Logic Supply that sold me the computer, they seem to sell alternative power supplies and silent systems and can probably tell me where to start (and would probably be happy to exchange currency for goods and services).
