Ontopic Random Computer-Electronics Thread

yea, bf1, which uses the frostbite engine, used by multiple EA divisions, developed primary by EA digital extremes CE division. it's even right there in the name. EA.

you're completely being pedantic.

Never saw the logic in chasing vidja game requirements with a PC. It's a never-ending circle of misery - upgrade, solve issues, rinse, repeat.

but but #pcmasterrace and bragging on the internet about it. BLUE LEDZ AND WATERKOOLING AND RAID 0 SSD'S
 
Anyway I'm thinking of rebuilding my desktop. I swapped mobos/CPUs between my desktop and HTPC. The HTPC is now a Phenom X4 955, and my desktop is now an Athlon 64 X2, I made the change because the X2 wasn't up to decoding x265.

I've got a Core i5-2400 on my desk, which was scavenged from a PC that got knocked off a lab bench at work. 3.4GHz quad core, should be pretty good right? except I can't find a LGA1155 motherboard anywhere, I guess it's 4 sockets behind in Intel land.

I kinda like my Intel LGA1155 board (DH77EB), if you can find one.

"Frostbite is a game engine developed by EA DICE, the creators of the Battlefield series. "

"EA Digital Illusions CE AB (short EA DICE, formerly Digital Illusions HB and later Digital Illusions CE AB) is a Swedish video game developer based in Stockholm. The company was founded in 1992 and has been a subsidiary of Electronic Arts since 2006. Its releases include the Battlefield series, Mirror's Edge, and Star Wars Battlefront, and it is also the main developer behind EA's Frostbite engine. "

They are not EA, but a company owned by EA.

Holy fuck am I bored today.

It's a PITA.

Dumped mine a few month ago.

And the whole scene was great for a few years.

Fuckall!
Know a friend who specialises in that stuff. Got to decide which direction to go.. the other option is building a computer that boots the DAW straight, got to read up about that. I'd ideally like to run multiple operating systems.
 
So, messing with my 3D printer. It has these style connectors on it for power supply, you push them onto the pins of the board then screw the wires down onto it and 12V goes into the system.
http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=0virtualkey0virtualkey1757048

I'm not sure I like this as the PSU is a separate unit so if anything falls on the wire or someone trips on it then the PSU will be pulled and possibly fall, then tension will be pulling directly on the board (wife is clumsy, lots of animals in the house, matter of time really)

My two thoughts are to 3D print an attachment/frame so that the PSU is mounted to the printer's frame, not just sitting next to it, or figure out if I can use some sort of plug like this http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/PJ-202A/CP-202A-ND/252007 to allow the plug to pull out if the PSU is yanked

Which do you guys think makes more sense? I have the board out and unplugged right now if that makes any difference to anyone's thoughts.

I know that second link is not the correct plug to just push onto the pins, but I'm not sure what the terms for that type of plug would be, so if that's your answer then please include a term I can use to search for it.

The one that lets it pull out be the simple solution but that wouldn't be near as fun as printing stuff to build on the printer now would it?
