What's your latest tech purchase?

[cst1992]

I did not expect this order to go through. Now I have an additional RTX 3090. Might as well put it up for sale later.

Why get it if you don't need it? Might as well cancel it and make someone else on BB lucky.

I will see how it fares versus the evga 3090 ftw3. I will keep the one I like better and sell the other one. Worst case scenario I will use it in my lab workstation.

My wife would divorce me if I purchased a video card worth over $2K cad

Just call it an investment and she wont say more.

Hi,
A loosing investment seeing hardware never goes up in value used.

The wife: Financial analyst.

My wife is smart though. She would know it was a waste of money.

Do you know the heck I took over a $40 razer mouse? She was thinking a $40 must be made out of gold.

I swear, she puts my dad to shame regarding finances and how stringent she can be. If it was up to her, I would be wearing a potato sack to work for clothing to save money cause $10 shirts from Costco is too much

And claim the video card as alimony

So I lose the wife and have to give her half the card.

I love her too much so I'll settle for a cheaper card lol

Thankfully my wife lets me buy whatever I want..... She loves tech also though.

Did you know this about her before marriage? One upside is you'll never be wasting money on something if you have to answer too the wife.

Kinda. I mean she blamed me for our first date for how cheap the lunch I got her. But I paid at least $12 for that salad. Funny how the tables turned

When I got my 3080, I sold my nine month old 2070 Super for a profit. I was happily surprised!!!

my 3080

Will you keep the 3080 or upgrade to 3080ti?

 

[HammerON]

Most likely keep the 3080. I will have to resist the urge though...

Shitty Blue Snowball is basically broken after just over a year (crappy USB-B printer port on a microphone), so I got a Scarlett Solo as I wait for a Shure PGA181. Thought while I wait I'd try it as a DAC - much cleaner sound than my E10K, that piece of shit always has background noise even on low gain.

Plus while you're gaming you can just random start playing guitar

To be fair, if you do want to upgrade, selling your 3080 will not be difficult.

Just got a new Logitech G440 mousepad to replace my old one. By far the best out there. It's a hard surface mousepad and the mouse just glides like it's on ice, which has helped reduce strain on my wrist over many thousands of hours of use.

Exactly.
Maybe and depending the price i would like to upgrade.

I want to buy a Vacuum Cleaner.

Would this one work: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Handheld...s=handstaubsauger+uraqt&qid=1609940377&sr=8-4

Hi,
This isn't a normal time either but yes older gear guess it's time to sell

This PSU is a beauty. Very confusing trying to pick out the model with the Duo fan, rather than the riing plus which I do not like.
Thay could have made it to sync better, they usually use a reverse 9 pin USB to their controllers, but this one had a regulart pin
That had to go into the motherboard where there aren't that many. But still (!), it's a great PSU and an upgrade to the 770w
I had, now regulated to back up status. I'm gathering up quite an extra set of parts.

 

[cst1992]

That's one of the good Thermaltake power supplies.

They really made it confusing - some have the riing plus, which I don't like and some, like this one, had the Duo riing.
Also, they should have made the wire for the RGB fit into the Fan controllers instead of a 9 pin USB to the motherboard, it makes it difficult to sync with RGB plus
and impossible for Neon Maker. Every thing should go through both soft wares. Also should have been able to use sync controller for motherboards style of RGB.
They make you get a different controllers for everything, why not this?

I winder if I could take out the Duo riing and put a quad in? Just curious
