Mech mod idea...

[Raguri]

It was a bit of a bum day mind - I had to buy a mouse!

Oh god.
I cannot even imagine using Solidworks on a touch pad. I think it'd make me throw the laptop across the room in anger...

I still remember the look on my design and tech teachers face when I managed to make a full 3d model of my iPod in an hour, all 1:1, including the indentation on the wheel...

I want a desktop now.
can't afford a desktop.
Brb, going to go cry.

It's surprising how crap a PC will run solidworks though, as long as you're not making massive assemblies with any kind of real graphics rendering on it then you'll be ok. Just bought my old man a desktop which was the same as I had at my old workplace for £45 off eBay!

Solidworks without a mouse is like driving a car without a steering wheel!

May have to look at the minimum running specs then
I have a few bits and bobs from an old pc, including a very nice PSU...
Realistically, max parts i'll be doing for modding is... 9?

Just get yourself a copy and give it a whirl mate, designing a mod should be a simple task for it.

Nice, the world is your oyster with Solidworks. Will have to ship the missus off to bed early another night and model a few bits up.

Don't need anything too fancy, the best thing I found was moving to a 64 bit operating system.

Current System:
1.6 Intel Atom
1gb Ram...

I'm on a 64bit but been slowing right down at points and getting some blue screening. Think its the graphics drivers but you can imagine the amount of obscenities that fly from my mouth when it blinks off lol
