Got this used radiator a very BIG 3x140mm made bx Phobya ( Alphacool ) for so cheap and in perfect condition just 25$. Im getting good deals lately.

I wonder if i can use it to cool down my 9900KS + 2080 Ti i have the waterblock for both with D5 pump from EK. Or a 3x120mm will be enough ? :confused:

Nothing special just the last piece to my Windows XP puzzle.

I didn't expect the adapter bracket from SFX to ATX and I ordered this bcs it's a good price, quality, 80Plus Gold, SeaSonic and should be enough for a i3-4130, 4GB (2x2), GTX 750 Ti.

Got this, as I wanted a better screen while stuck abroad. Managed to get hold of a loaner computer...
First official non 60Hz screen that I've had(my older Dell can be overclocked to 80Hz), seems to be working fine. Was the most affordable 2560x1440 screen that was available in stock and still goes up to 144Hz. Not noticing any ghosting as some people claim VA panels have, but maybe I'm just blind

One stuck bright pixel, but hey...

They do exist yes, just not many in stock in europe I guess because OC UK, Caseking DE, and other webshops even in DK said out of stock, end of life or simply ETA Unknown so I got in touch with Silverstone Technology and asked, and they reply with how many I needed

I paid €62,36 delievered to my door straight from Sliverstone Technology in Germany.

I am planning on using them specially in the future when I change case with more space for storage but also in my current one and I like the black/blue design matched my current theme.

I've been casually checking availability of these ever since I first discovered them a few years back, and as you say nobody ever seems to have them in stock. It's a real shame, as they would be an excellent addition to my NAS.

caseking.de actually has them in stock at the moment (at least that is what the web page states)

Returned the HyperX Alloy Elite keyboard as it was too noisy for me and got this Roccat Horde AIMO Membranichal Keyboard for £39.99 (wanted something cheaper) and got a large mouse+keyboard pad for free

I didn't buy this but we got a big box of old fans, coolers and cables at work and decided to save this one brand new never used.

A yes, an "improved" GeForce 4 cooler. The stock coolers on those cards were terrible... Not that this is much better, sure, it's copper rather than aluminium, but it still has the same terrible fan. I remember doing a massive group test of those cards when I worked at PCW, must've been nearly 30 cards.

I use to own some of those cards back in the AGP days

Well, obviously so did I, since back in the good old days, a lot of review samples tended to be left for the journalists to keep. I also shared quite a few with friends too... I kind of miss those days... But then again, computers are so much more powerful these days so I don't miss it too much

I might even have a CD in a drawer somewhere that contains that issue of the magazine...

Oh, I just got the non Elite version of that, as a temporary keyboard. Can't say I'm overly impressed, the spacing between the keys are way too big and the keys feel "wrong". Used to have an Isku a few years ago and it was much better imho.
The wheel is kind of funky, but not overly useful, but at least it has native OS support in Windows 10. It's on the wrong side of the keyboard though...
At least it was one sale, but you got the Elite for pretty much the same that I paid for the regular version

Bought several things lately... Antec GX1200 case, Sound Blaster Audigy RX, Logitech K400 for my bedroom PC, LG WH16NS40 BD-R writer, 25 PlexDisc 25GB BD-R discs, Lite On external writer, cheap DVD-DL discs, hair dryer for cleaning :laugh:

, popcorn machine because never had one, and this awesome thing:

Probably the best investment in the entire list. Spring brings all these annoying flying insects... burn 'em alive.
