I pay a fixed 50€ monthly for Electricity, water and gas is include in the Incidental costs.

I get around 800€/900€ cashback for the Incidental costs and around 300€/350€ for Electricity cashback.

Hmm... Including water?
I pay 11 Euros/month for tap water(drinkable). So thats 76Euros/month with gas+electricity total for me.

Going OT now...

Yeah I pay a fixed 76Euros/month for water,gas,electricity, mostly I use less if you calculate it on a year basis in the end so I get some money returned.
No subsidy for this.

I've been posting my usage as my cost for some reason ,I don't know why. I woke up shortly ago and I've switched to decaf recently and it isnt waking me up :shadedshu:

Now I'm all discombobulated

By the way that monthly cost sweet as hell I wish I was paying that . Due to electric heat my usage generally reaches the 2800 kWh per month peak in the winter believe it or not. Do the math, its stifling

Very nice. I'm rather annoyed that I missed out on this, especially as I have some friends who went back to the states and could have brought one (or 2) back for me. I'm normally pretty good at keeping up with the 'Bargin' threads when I know friends are going to the US, just life got in the way this year

LG 29UM69G-B. Bought it a few days ago when it was $60 off the standard price.

Hadn't planned on getting a new monitor so soon but the oldest monitor in the house, an Asus 24" 1920x1200, started showing signs that it'll die soon.

Champ · Jun 17, 2017

So I had to splurge. Brought my self a 27" Dell G-Sync 1440p monitor, stock 1080 FE and Oculus Rift. Guess this is my own birthday gift to me this year. First Nvidia card since I've had since the 780. They've made great improves all around. Card is really powerful. Parking my freesync monitor for a g sync. Almost unnecessary because the 1080 is whipping 1440p. And I love the Oculus, but it's not great. Image quality could be better. Only so much supersampling can do. Looks good with SS cranked if your rigged can provide the power.

Now that's a very good buy, especially since GPU wasn't used or tested before. If you received a warranty, you are golden.
