Weird how some of the props have a belt drive, and some look like they have a gearbox drive. The front and rear on the observers left in that picture are both big honkin' belt drive, but the two middle props have a gearbox.

The crazy thing is, it's not even symmetrical... the front prop on the right is gearbox!

The previously mentioned Acer C720 is running an Intel Haswell dual-core x86 chip. And it has an 8.5 hour battery life!

However, I have no idea about installing windows on something like this? I mean, it's x86, and it has a legacy BIOS/boot mode that can boot Linux, so I suppose it work.

Wow, really? I haven't really programmed anything since a Turbo Pascal class I had back in high school (sophomore year, so that'd be 1997-1998).
I'd do something like

Input yournumber

if yournumber/5 = int(yournumber/5) then
      if yournumber/3 = int(yournumber/3) then print fizzbuzz
      else print buzz
elseif yournumber/3 = int(yournumber/3) print fizz

There's probably a better, more awesome efficient way to do it, but I think that pseudocode passes. Also, I think elseif is a thing?

Well, if the whole fixture is too expensive, you can always just bypass the starter and run 115v to the pins in your existing fixture and throw in some of these:

$22/ each if you buy them in lots of 4, meaning about $176 to replace all your fixture's bulbs with LEDs. Instant start, long life, and you can choose warm, neutral, or cold. Although that's if you have a T8 fixture (I assume?) if you have T12, just shop around.

In any case, I just typed the keywords into Google shopping for both of these, if this is something you are actually interested in doing, you can shop around and get considerably better prices than that for panels. It's up to you :).
