Re: General discussion chat Try covering all of your computers intake fans with coasters that have rubber feet on and see how much of a difference it makes
Re: General discussion chat well the reason i was asking was because my siblings have to play there games on a laptop (made by HP making it even worse) and it runs games pretty decently for like, 5 seconds, then it starts throttling.
Re: General discussion chat It should help then. Just put a book under each side of the laptop and you should be fine.
Re: General discussion chat Instead of getting a cooling pad, putting bottle caps under each corner of the laptop works well too.
Re: General discussion chat I actually made a cooling pad myself back when I had an HP laptop. I put a horizontally-oriented fan on a rectangular metal case, with a little plastic ramp thing to force the air into the computer's intake. This is how it worked (I'm a ms paint artist) - - - Updated - - - Yep. I made several things with legos: - A phone/tablet stand - A laptop stand (before I made the cooling pad I previously posted) - A cable organiser thing - A phone case (alright, that one was a bit of a failure) - Fixed broken headphones Legos are awesome. Oh, a friend who had the NXT set made an RC vacuum cleaner platform. Sorta like a manual roomba.
Re: General discussion chat I have the nxt as well. Sadly i never really did anything that cool with it. Now i occasionally teach younger students how to use one.
Re: General discussion chat Hmm thinking about finding a competition to get a gaming rig i will let you guys know if i win one if i actually find one
Re: General discussion chat Assetto Corsa is 50% off on Steam right now in case anyone is interested.
Re: General discussion chat Saw this and got really excited. No too far, doesn't have the huge utility box on it which my dad wasn't a fan of. http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/view?auctionId=8228643 It's been robbed of quite a few parts, though. No telling whats missing.
Re: General discussion chat Well, running gear and an engine is really all you need, isn't it? - - - Updated - - - $75 for my lego stuff. Plus shipping. I have a big box filled with just random lego parts. NXT included.
Re: General discussion chat Yeah, but it's the little things that can really be a pain. Like missing brake lines, bolts missing from random things. Stuff like that. When you really look at it, it looks like the gauge cluster is mostly there, but laying in the seat, and the engine looks like its all there. Just some hoses taken/disconnected.
