@chispy kicked me a Intel soccer ball.

 

[Bones]

Scored this for $76 shipped and it looks like it was unused/new - However It's not perfect, two of the onboard buttons are bad (Reset and + buttons) but aside from that it's a good one, works fine otherwise as testing has shown. Other than flashing the BIOS to a newer version so it would work with my Kaby chips that's all I had to do related to doing any fixing.
I can get and replace those buttons anytime.

quite true ... well i notice that on X470 mobo's i am eyeing recently to replace my Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7 ...

all black and red and none with that much white available where i live ...

furthermore...

(what? i am making excuse to buy new peripheral? ... noooooo.... )

aherm .... Christmas coming with all the (jingle) bells and (annoying Xmas song) whistle, i decided to ...
profit from the sale related to this period of the year ...

1. Corsair Dark Core RGB SE (Qi wireless recharge) 79chf instead of 115chf (since unfortunately the Roccat Leadr wasn't on promo anymore, but i did read some good review about the one i selected to be an option )


since i don't want to spend another 70ish chf (instead of 99chf nonetheless) on the accorded mousemate, which incorporate a Qi recharge point, tho kinda under powered compared to a fully fledged Qi pad and since i pretty much love my indestructible Roccat Alumic, i add that one to the mix (~28chf)


for my Nokia 8 a little extra


and ... (44 chf instead of 64.90), because... why not ...



and a Toshiba TR200 240gb to replace my 60gb Patriot Blaze

 

[theonek]

It's Ryzen's time....

 

[ensabrenoir]

.....the new clasic.......

....original Cooler Master Cosmos. Had an old core 2 quad system with a blown psu and a 8600gt. Bought it off off Facebook marketplace for .....$20!!! Gonna throw my Ryzen sytem in it just for kicks.

 

[theonek]

Good old Cosmos! Still running with the Stacker 830 though! Now they just don't make such classy and sturdy cases...

 

[sam_86314]

Had some gift cards from Christmas, so I splurged and picked up a refurbished AOC AG241QX for $270.

Looks like my phone forgot how to take good quality pictures...

I've never had a 1440P or a 144Hz monitor, and this is both of those. I moved from an 11 year-old 24" Dell monitor that was 1200P at 60Hz, so it's a pretty big upgrade. I can already see a difference in smoothness. I look forward to seeing what this monitor can do.

Also, new M.2 heatsinks arrived for my laptop a few days ago. I'll post about them when I finally get around to installing them.

gimme a sec ...

i am not one either ... but here is my Nokia 8 with his SD Wanda Maximov silicone case

 

[FireFox]

Christmas coming with all the (jingle) bells and (annoying Xmas song)

And i am hearing this one since i am 7 years old

Today i am 40 and the Radio Stations still play it every single year

 

[micropage7]

The only razer that i have
Actually i don't want to buy that, but razer goliathus speed just for $10? Why not

 

[silentbogo]

The only razer that i have

Maybe chinese knockoff? Not that it's a bad thing, cause actually the quality is 100% the same.
Got the exact same Goliathus a few years back for around $6-7 new (35x45cm). It's still kicking in my office, and went through at least 5 washing machine cycles and couple of hand-scrubbing procedures after I spilled hot chocolate on it. Stitching is still perfect.
Some "knock-offs" are now as cheap as $4 on ali.
For home use I've replaced it with an 80cm wide surface, which cost me around $13 or so shipped from China. Pretty much indistinguishable from the real thing.

 

[khemist]

Gigabyte Aorus master, sent back the maximus hero.



Installed.

 

[GreiverBlade]

oh, it seems to work quite well ...


for 28 chf the build quality of that pad is not bad at all (the cable bundled with is nylon braided and metal housing on the plugs) quite nice

the Dark Core RGB SE was painless to setup (receiver hidden in my Couchmaster Cycon lapboard ) it was bundled with a quite long (nylon braided too ) A-Micro cable and a micro-A adapter for the receiver but i will be using it for my Xbox One pad when i use it wired ... rather

a few second later in a USB 3.0 enclosure and the TR200 240gb is ready


that one has a so-so build quality for the connector adjustment system but for the price nothing to complain


annnd Digital Download are annoying ... but hey! at last i have a box ...


little joke

well i got it less cheap than if i did buy a RTX but still got it cheaper than if i did buy a RTX ...

 

[Komshija]

Cheap and good? Can it be so simple? Yes!

I bought them on Aliexpress, brand new, for under 5 €. Awei ES Q9 in-ear wooden earphones with braided cable and gold-plated 3,5 mm jack. They have a very good deep bass, something that I prefer over treble. Sound quality is also very good and build quality looks & feels good too.

 

[phill]

Happy New Year everyone I'll hopefully get some pictures up of the few bits and pieces I've had for Christmas to share..

I hope everyone has had a blast
