Picked up two used office computers for $100CDN and then threw in R7 240's ($60 each) in them for my kids.

nice pairing, i did the same with a HP SFF and also same R7 240

(posted about it at the time in the "nostalgic hardware" thread)

those are HP DC7900? (mine was running a C2D E8500 and did quite fine for multimedia and light gaming )

on a second look... nope not DC7900, more modern version seemingly... what CPU?

DC8000 Elite? maybe?

Brave soul. I remember having parakeets when I was little - my mom really liked them (for about the first week we had them) and she convinced dad to buy them for her. The damn birds would never shut up and the kids got stuck cleaning the cage out and constantly feeding/watering them. I couldn't bring myself to get any birds after the irritation of dealing with parakeets.

They are HP EliteDesk 800's. They have C2D E8400, 4GB DDR3 ram and 250GB hard drives. My boys love them. They're playing Metroid Prime on the Dolphin emulator. For the price, you can't go wrong!

Yeah that's usually the problem with birds in a cage. We had 1-2 canaries (varied because one died and sometimes got replaced too until the end where it was just one) and it really was a lot of work. The dirt they produced was not only in the cage but on the surrounding floor too. But they could sing it was nice. Until it started to get boring that is. I'm not a fan of caged animals, I think they deserve better than to live in prison.

I'd rather invest that money in some computer hardware, but hey thats just me, we can't buy firearms here.
Maybe you need it in Alaska with those wild bears and other wild there?

pretty much. Plus it was a smoking deal too, I got it new for way less than sticker/tag.

What bears? It's that time of the year they go into hibernation.

Only seen one brown bear pawing at a tarp on the ground in the front yard once many years back. Usually see more black bears, seen one running through the parking lot of the elementary school near the subdivision I live in when I was parked.

Did have a bear (brown/black?) clawing at our garage door late night/early morning. Long scratch on the lower panel plus missing rubber on the bottom flap pushed against the concrete. (garage door was down)

The only downside is the male is horny as hell the whole day he wants to jump on the female, when I hear him make weird noises I walk to the cage and then he'll calm down again...
Sometimes I find eggs on the bottom, the thing is I don't want young babybirds so thats why I don't have a nest for them, 2 birds is enough lol!
The weather getting colder here and have winter soon, but they stay inside ofcourse, I hope the male stops being horny and stops jumping the female during that period but I'm not sure

silentbogo · Oct 19, 2016

Brand new, nice and shiny rework station.
First I got a different model, which came DOA (defective compressor). A store replaced it with "a bit better and more expensive" piece of crap.
At least now I can do my job without relying on even cheaper PoS that smells like burnt plastic after 5 minutes... :slap:

I guess you get what you pay for...

Latest order...(delivery between the 21 and 24 depending )

unfortunately the VKB Gladiator is unavailable for EU country, and i couldn't find a retailer who import the RavCore Javelin (Polish VKB OEM)

the Speedlink has some downsides (like a potentiometer for twist axis and no extra connector for add on ) but will do fine i can bet on it
