What's your latest tech purchase?

[GamerGuy]

That keyboard..

It's a Ducky (Cherry MX Black), with white PBT dye sub keycaps, and yes, a set of Spongebob PBT keycaps for the heck of it. Sometimes, I just wanna lighten things up....

This is what I was referring to... It's just silly, but a fun kind of silly.

Which was precisely why I'd gotten that Spongebob keycap set, it's a fun set of keycaps. Besides, I'd not used this keyboard for a long time, love the MX Black, I'm remembering why I'd kept the keyboard.

I just learned that the NCASE M1 is discontinued this week This is not the latest tech purchase I bought it last year when Covid started getting worst around April last year. Gonna show this purchase that I have not used yet. I wish I had purchased the black panels when it was in stock last year . Now is no longer for sale. Below is the end of an era for the last version of the Ncase M1 ver 6.1. This is the case that started up the custom itx revolution. It had a good 7 years run with multiple updates. Gonna miss this soldier. I be keeping this as my collection now. What I love about the M1 is how they included every single accessories in the purchase without having to buy extra. You got io port/plates, fan grills, atx psu adapters and extra screws. All bases are covered. Despite the price of $190usd then, for what they provided and the Lian Li quality of the case it was worth it.

The design really aged well with it 3 slot gpu though nowadays with increasing gpu sizes even this is at its limits.

It's just this model as far as I'm aware there was supposedly a run happening next month whether they still keep their word and produce one last batch I'm not sure. There will be a Ncase m2 or something along those lines announced in the coming months

Quick fix time - ITX boards in the Cerberus place the NH-C14S too close to the back of the case, where it fights with the internal power cord extension. Printed a spacer and got some long screws to push the plug out 17mm.

well I have been meaning to upgrade my ole Logitech G105 KB for a while now but haven't liked the prices of what I have been seeing for new KB's so I was in Hardly Normals (harvey normans) store today and saw the had the G613 on sale for $171 down from $229 I had the money so bought it.



unfortunately it's not back lit like the G105 but then it runs on batteries so not to big of a deal

The new lens finally came! The thing is pretty big, but it doesn't weigh a lot. I need to find a furry woodland creature to take a picture of.
It's almost twice as long as my 24-105mm kit lens, but that's what happens when you go to 100-400mm.


As a side note, this lens was just recently released, so it's a new one for the RF lineup.

Alrighty folks. I found myself some furry woodland creatures. It was a little dark out by the time I was done with work, so the high ISO noise sort of hurts the quality of the pictures, but you can get a pretty good idea for how much 8x magnification gets you.

Just ordered some 3600MT G Skill Trident Z Neo ram and a 5800X CPU so pics incoming when they get here

 

[ThaiTaffy]

I should have bought that AOC Hdmi cable when we were talking about it It was about $50 then I just bought it and I think it cost closer to $100. Dell 210ii 1U Server, crucial 3600mhz ram and fibre hdmi cable should be here in a week or so pics will come when it arrives.

Got the 3rd base station for my Valve Index. Unfortunately this one doesn't come with the mounting bracket.

I love that it's not even a USB part, that's an HDMI elbow.

Just bought this one slightly discounted, did its job so far but with some unusual hiccups with the desktop computer I have - which has a TP-Link USB Wi-Fi card, really odd.

Same brand on the box ≠ same maker of chips inside the box.

USB, HDMI,... bah! Stop getting so technical on me! It's shiny and made of plastic, that's what matters. U buyin' or not???

And the storage bin looks a lot like a baking tray/pan.

Just in time for winter.

Just in time for winter.

I'm wondering Is it to thaw your usb ports if they freeze over when using LN²?

Makes sense, I just solved the issue by running the LAN cable instead.

TP-Link are masters of putting whatever they can get their hands on inside their routers and as such they have a mix of Intel/Lantiq/MaxLinear, Mediatek, Realtek, Broadcom and Qualcomm hardware and they can even switch chipset in the same model when they make a new revision, so you really have no idea what you're buying.

 

[Ahhzz]

OK, back to topic please guys. we have a forum for "funny pictures". thanks!!

 

[micropage7]

although they are look the same it just not the same

athough the case looks pretty similar the internal quality is different, the left side is the better one

but the low quality has better finishing than the other one
