so i was thinking this. adding plug sockets. so basically computers need power advanced computers need morepower and monitors require extra power as well. i think CC should add there own power system. (not original i know) but maybe they should make some sort of power that computers need to run. and for you guys that would hate this idea just add a option in the config to turn this of. i just think this would be cool as computers just run on nothing at the moment and thats not really how a computer works. just a suggestion
thanks -Cheeky

why would it break it? i mean does your computer run on absolutly nothing? does it not need to be plugged in or be charged?.if it does not then you have a amazing computer, but seriously even if they just made an extra mod that supports ic2 power charging it. that would be cool.

This would either leave CC dependent on another mod (and we all know how well that's working out *coughredpower2cough*) and computers don't have an actual reason to use "power" when normal redstone circuits don't.

Computers works on logic, and logic is made by redstone. Redstone is a magical wire that can be powered by "nothing" -> it dosnt need "power".
This change dosnt make any sense if you compare it to vanilla redstone, IE does your redstone computer use any external "power" besides the IO boards levers/buttons?
