[QUOTE=horsedrowner;33332518]How about [IMG]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/doomsday_hub.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] I want to buy that and replace my PCs power button with it somehow
[QUOTE=BreenIsALie;33332562]I want to buy that and replace my PCs power button with it somehow[/QUOTE] It's possible, All you have to do is take the diagram of a regular PC power button and do that and then tape it to your computer
how would this work for a quick cheap emulation machine, like the one I suggested earlier? [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7333627/ZScreen/Screenshot-2011-11-18_15.52.46.png[/img] Pretty sure it doesn't need 4GB RAM but why not? Just realized HDD is bad.
[QUOTE=horsedrowner;33332518]How about [img]http://www.thinkgeek.com/images/products/zoom/doomsday_hub.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] I would build my PC inside my desk or right under it (Like a drawer maybe?) and build keyboard inside the desk. Like on or so. And then if you are turning it on there are multiple buttons. You start by pressing or flipping the switch and it starts one fan, you flip another two switches and two other fans start up. Then the case or whatever on the button pops up and you punch it (Like in Bulletstorm :v:) and then it starts to boot.

[QUOTE=Zerokateo;33332593]It's possible, All you have to do is take the diagram of a regular PC power button and do that and then tape it to your computer[/QUOTE] A power button is just a normal switch.

[editline]18th November 2011[/editline] Get even smaller case+Mobo.[/QUOTE] I'm not actually buying it of course but this was the cheapest deal I could find. I could go smaller but that would jack up the price.
[QUOTE=Zerokateo;33332593]It's possible, All you have to do is take the diagram of a regular PC power button and do that and then tape it to your computer[/QUOTE] It is actually really easy. You can turn on your PC using a screwdriver. You just need to connect two pins.
[QUOTE=wingless;33332648]A power button is just a normal switch.[/QUOTE] Yeah I just realized that, thank you wingless. [editline]18th November 2011[/editline] Mine is actually a click switch though, Like on a flashlight Click in it stays on Click out it goes off.
I've been watching a Authors@Google Randall Munroe talk. He's really great.
[QUOTE=wingless;33332648]A power button is just a normal switch.[/QUOTE] Not quite, old motherboards power pins could be bridged by anything and boot up. Now, it was decided it ain't a good idea to run 6v through the power button, so when you press the switch on a modern computer case it changes the resistance of the circuit slightly. A new mothboard will still boot if its bridged by anything though. Useless facts here. [editline]18th November 2011[/editline] I found this out trying to recase an intel pentium I rig. It didn't fire up :/
[QUOTE=Fatal-Error;33332538]How many pins? ain't that just slightly overkill?[/QUOTE] hence why I said not necessarily 3pdt if it was on/off it would just need spst which is just 2 pins
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;33332458]a game console built on the raspberry pi could be pretty damn cool I really want that damn thing to hurry up and come out, it's probably the only thing I'm looking more forward to than I was skyrim[/QUOTE] The great thing about the Raspberry Pi is that there are only two versions and the boot device is an SD card. You could easily distribute bootable SD card images with operating systems and games this way. Since there are only two versions, it would be possible to optimize applications and games to run specifically on the Pi. I saw a thread on the forum that was discussing the possibility of making demos (Similar to what people did with the Atari). I can't wait to see what people do with it, I can see it becoming the next Arduino.

[QUOTE=Goz3rr;33334010]Openpandora = 375 euro nD = 10 euro[/QUOTE] Pfft, you could emulate the nD on an OpenPandora.
Only unboxed like half the computers. We don't have enough shelf space. :(
[QUOTE=wingless;33334046]Pfft, you could emulate the nD on an OpenPandora.[/QUOTE] You could emulate an OpenPandora emulating an nD on my pc. Your point is?
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;33334069]You could emulate an OpenPandora emulating an nD on my pc. Your point is?[/QUOTE] OpenPandora is portable so you have 2 advantages 1) Only have to have one thing with you 2) $10 cheaper, not that, that means much.

You know what was an awesome controller, the one used for steel Battalion. [IMG]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1liLJWcqaq4/Tg-C--iW1iI/AAAAAAAAACs/S5kbUzknXkI/s1600/sb.jpg[/IMG] Then the next game comes out and... YOU CAN'T USE THAT CONTROLLER AND NEED TO USE KINECT! I wish more controllers had the build quality of older consoles controllers, PS1 had dye-sublimated labels for example. Make sure they don't have the giant 25% deadzone the 360 controller has. Make sure your dpad is not a single piece, PS1 dpad was great. Other thing is to make it so you never need to remove your thumbs from their respective main position, the facebutton on all controllers with dual analog sticks aren't efficient. As for console hardware. The things that cap a console's performance in current generation are the out of date graphics processor and lack of memory, 512MB combined system memory in the 360. The processor in the 360 is twice as fast as the PS3. A Core 2 Duo @ 2.0 Ghz has equal to a 360 in terms of processing power and that was at launch. The problem is always having support from developers, it would be great if there was a stock configuration for a computer I could buy that guarantee me a certain level of performance in certain games. Developers would build the game to run on a certain set of hardware, not caring how it perform on anything below that spec.
[QUOTE=Goz3rr;33334115]The nD is portable too :v:[/QUOTE] I know, you missed the point. I was saying it was portable because you were talking about a PC.
