if you mean this post the one that doesn't display an image per se is the silicon chips.

You ain't getting any more out of me for free. If anyone wants more information the price is one question.

18) Is it, or does it contain, some kind of processor (CPU, GPU, whatever)?

lavalamp · 2010-11-05, 16:34

Bearing in mind that processors can quite happily store data on their own (in internal registers and various cache levels), do you want to burn a question this way?

No, I don't. Question retracted.
Thanks for the help.

So, basically, these are what lavalamp may have possibly been referring to:
box shaped (conflicts with Q1)
finding something by searching google for the terms (good luck...)
pixels (conflicts with Q7)
silicon chips (conflicts with Q17)
wireless mouse (conflicts with Q13)
As you can see, none of these could be the answer, but which of these may have been the one to flirt heavily with the answer? I really don't know...

Hehe, I know what it is. But I gotta wait until my 24 hours.

What? You think I'd put in here? Not likely

well the only things that comes to mind that you can attach to a computer that doesn't contain controls or a display are webcams, or portable hard-drives, but the hard-drives you can connect can look boxlike in fact i have one in that shape lol. and my camera makes noise when it moves.
the one thing my guesses all flirt with is system parts.

Well, you could help the rest of us out, but in this case you may want to claim the win, so if so you do need to wait.

min geek i think my hard part is if it can connect to a compute but can't store data itself then it shouldn't have a chip in it what can you attach to a computer with no processor that doesn't appear to be a connection cable?

Yeah, I go for the win, of course, it is my evil nature.

But the rest of you still have a few hours.

Assuming you're right retina.

PM me if you'd like to know before tomorrow some time.
