What's your latest tech purchase?

[HUSKIE]

I think I need to use my 750d case or I'll change the cooling system to aio cooler. Don't have enough clearance between ram slots and radiator.

Interesting Goodwill Find of today...

A Seasonic X-650 80Plus Gold rated modular power supply. Today was student/military discount day, so I got 25% off the marked price of $30.

I tested it and it seems to work just fine. Only one small problem, it has all of the cables except the 8-pin EPS cable. I'll probably pick one up on eBay or something since they're like $5.

Who knows, it might end up replacing my EVGA 750 B3. I don't know which is the better PSU.

That appears to be a first gen , and they had coil whine issues. There's not a little 2 after SS-650KM

 

[F-Zero]

Got myself a new case: Phanteks ENTHOO EVOLV X

 

[HUSKIE]

So she's fixed now. Moved the 360 rad on front. So all rams beautifully showing up. Even I hate bling bling. But my son loved them. Everytime I set the lights on solid colour, but my son keep changing. So leave it like that.

Recently the egg had these for a really good price, $89 each to be exact and snagged two.
Didn't know if they would actually honor the deal but they did - And they arrived today. All looks good with these and even came with all the expected goodies inspite of being open box.
Will test both, then set one up for some subzero action to come.

Might want to take the lid of it and make sure some one has not added some thing flmable to the coil to stop the possible whining.

I had the v2 of the 750 which failed on me, did not harm the PC at all and Seasonics RMA was with the best of the best ( XFX, Logitech to name a few others )

Something that I've been after for a long time, finally turned up...

I'd love to get hold of my X99 Classified to complete what I'm after but it's seeming to be impossible to find... still, carrying on the search!!

I'm definitely going to be using this over my MSI board and I'm hoping to get my M.2 installed and working with it and more so installed into a case!! The MSI I'm toying with the idea of buying a Xeon, using a raid card from a server and using some of the drives I have to do some crazy raid array... I'm still thinking on that....

@TheMadDutchDude got them for me via ebay These are for the 1366 CPUs, I'd like to try and grab a 2011 model as well unless they do a 2011-3 as that might be slightly different in the size department... I'd have to be sure.. I'll see if I can find you a link and buzz you over a PM if that's ok?

EDIT - PM sent sir

@E-Bear is going to hate me even more now...

Found a BD-ROM and HD DVD-ROM drive at a local computer repair shop. I bought it for $10 (the price all optical drives were set at).

TPU has an old news post about this exact drive, it was around $345 when it was new. It looks like it'll read Blu-rays at 6x and HD DVDs at 3x. Not as fast as my WH16NS40 (obviously), but faster than that $4 external BD-ROM drive I found a while back.

It works and it reads Blu-rays (no HD DVDs on hand to test). The exciting part is that I can now use HD DVDs, which keep ending up at local thrift stores because they're pretty much useless now.

My wife has her monitor set up on a wall using a VESA mount, mainly for height and distance reasons. Anyway, since there's not much room for play behind the monitor, the HDMI cable needed to be bent downwards and I don't like bending video cables very much. Suffice to say that she started to lose the signal, so I bought an HDMI 90° adaptor which solves the problem entirely.
Small, simple and effective.

Various Noctua stuff I have laying out since I'm waiting for another case. Also bought a Carbonaut thermal pad just to see if I like it or not.

No, he don't have them in stock often, if at all ?. All so did not want the double boom either as some have been complaining about the quality.
