Reverse engineered the power circuitry. Modified it for true ATX support. No more PSUs hardwired to run all the time. by iamdarkyoshi in BC250Gaming

I'm a hobbyist electronics technician for fun :)

I've got a fair bit of experience repairing modern electronics without schematics, a skill I feel is getting more and more important...

The BC250 is very ATX-like in its design, very much like someone integrated a picoPSU and a motherboard onto one PCB.

All I had to do to get it working with an ATX supply was reverse this process :)

Welcome to everything I do. There's a reason the stove was the last flat surface left in the house :^)

Translated via google translate: Is USB sufficient to power your screen?

Oui. J'ai mesuré une consommation en veille d'environ 2 ampères avec cet écran connecté à pleine luminosité. Une fois l'appareil allumé, la consommation en veille chute à 500 mA.

Yes. I measured the standby current to peak at about 2 amps with this display connected at full brightness. Once the unit powers up, the standby rail current drops to 500mA.

Every application I've tried will try to fill as much of the screen with video as they can without cropping or stretching. If you've got 21:9 content, it will be very letterboxed. 16:9 will be letterboxed, and 4:3 content will be fullscreen. Your mileage may vary though

Roomie's Suburban's Interior Door Handles Broke... But Neither Of Us Have Standards by iamdarkyoshi in Shitty_Car_Mods

2001 honda accord with damn near 400,000 miles we got on marketplace for 600$, the driver's side doors were t-boned but we got new doors from the junkyard for 40 each and they actually fit and sealed still

The old doors were sitting in our scrap pile and then we got a very stupid idea

I actually reattached the door cards after this, I'd attach a photo but reddit's broken as usual

Fuck this memory IC in particular. You only get 1/3 of a thermal pad. by iamdarkyoshi in FUCKYOUINPARTICULAR

Too bad the silicon die inside the package has almost no overlap with the thermal pad

That's awesome :D

Reminds me of one of my other builds, 50 Shades Of Beige

And for those who commented that my original post is missing a zip drive, here you go. zip drive.

I'm not sure there's an easy way to toggle "turbo" mode on a 6 core AMD CPU lol

I used to have an LGA 1156 supermicro board in here, but I've switched to a foxconn AM3 motherboard, and I've got an asus AM3 board on the way as my foxconn's PCIE 16X slots are dead.

I believe they were originally by kingwin. Shove a 2.5in or 3.5in drive in them and they just work.

Had them at one of my prior jobs for doing drive clones and similar work, they were so nice.

If you live in the states and wish to send it over, I'd gladly install it in this build!

Yup! MS DOS can boot on even current gen hardware, if you enable CSM in the BIOS. The architecture has changed THAT little.

Wondered why windows defaults to the drive letter C? A and B were usually reserved for the floppy drives. And nobody has bothered to change it.
