We had 2 snow storms already up here in the Northeast US, it's just been really cold here lately.

Dude I've been checking the weather channel forecast for like the next 2 months to see when it will get substantially warmer, getting tired of the cold.

So far, I've not seen a single snow flake this winter, which is pretty unusual for my region.

We've had a few weeks of snow here in southern Sweden. The spring is here now though.

Soon, I will have a moderately decent gaming computer finally. And with that, I'll finally be able to play One Late Night amongst other things of course. Lol

Which I've wanted to do for a while now.

Future build starting tomorrow :yahoo: :

AMD FX-6300 Vishera 6 Core CPU @ 3.4 GHz
ATI Radeon HD 6670 w/ 1GB DDR5 RAM
1 TB HDD
8 GB DDR3 RAM

this is a temporary build. When I have more money and when I need to, I'll upgrade. But for now, this is quite alright. x3

Does anyone know of a plugin for blender or a free program like solidworks? or any program that simulates realistic collisions and stresses for CAD like hinges and springs. And once assembled can export. I did some light searching and didn't find much.

Blender does have Bullet integration, so you can do physics simulations there, but its far from perfect. Still I do not know about any open source software that would be suited better.

Damn, I just realized that I did not visit this forum for two weeks. I may have been a bit too focused on adding a Direct3D 11 backend to Ultimate 3D :whistle: .

@ zelda4evr
Found a free program like solidworks: DesignSpark Mechanical
Not sure, whether it is good. It is not open source, but free as in free beer.

Will it perform as well as an internal graphics card of the same type? Heck no. Will it beat the pants off your laptop's integrated graphics? You better believe it. If you have a bit more money to spare, we highly recommend building a budget desktop instead

I've seen a few things. One being a fully assembled one for like 200 with a case around the card. Most require you to connect to your ExpressCard slot which I do not have. I was just looking for a cheap option to add a little more power to this laptop. I do eventually want to build a computer but I have other priorities right now.
