For my son, he is experimenting with epoxy and needed a compressor/airpump for his small pressure vessel.
Don't know yet if it will work, but will give it a try.
If it does not work out, I still have a nice pump to inflate my bycicle tyres

I see some great potential, going around ”helping” peoples

Had a pair of Sennheiser MOMENTUM True Wireless 2 (280€~)

Was this a while ago? Currently they are 154 EUR equivalent on Amazon where I am.

I caved and preordered a Samsung S24 Ultra Titanium Violet, I'm truly a Samsung headcase.

Edit - Oh yeah, will post a pic or two when I get it...

I can't get over the square corners. I'm sure the better camera system is worth it for people who decide to buy the Ultra. But I don't really take that many photographs - only 120 photos in all of 2023. I ordered the S24+ 512GB to replace my S20+.

The square corners are lovely (I own a S23U), and it makes a lot of sense when taking the S Pen into account. No reason at all for me to consider the S24U but the flat screen. Yes, it's that much of a bother using the pen at the side edges of the S23U.

I told my bud that, he has the excellent S23U and I told him that while the S24U may have minor tweaks/improvements over the S23U, there isn't much diff between them, so I'd advised him to stick with his S23U till perhaps the S25U(?) next year. I have the Fold4 and the Flip5, so the S24U makes sense to me......or, at least, that's what I tell myself.

If you have a S Pen for you Fold, it wouldn't make any sense... Unless the screen of your devices break, which is just a matter of time.

Phantom Spirit 120 SE

Should arrive this Thursday.

I'll probably end up using XPG Vento Pro's on it instead of the stock fans. I have a stockpile of them just sitting in the closet.

you really need to tune your system, my 12700k and 4090 gets about the same numbers.
i use XTU for the cpu and msi afterburner for gpu.

Huh... who are you answering to? Wrong thread, maybe?

I got some 2 pin switches to repair a Kensington Orbit, only to find that if one cuts off the normally unused pin for a 3 pin switch the designer left enough space for them to fit; so I could use 80 million click switches instead of 8 million.

The interesting parts of the order (and the hefty EU prices):

You can guess the purpose...

111€ ?! Check on other websites. Amazon in France sell them for 98€.

 

[Veseleil]

Germany based warehouse is the closest to my location. What I would gain in lower initial price, would be lost in delivery expenses.
That is VAT included, order is in the process.



Let's stop there with off topic. If I wanted to slightly go that way, it wouldn't be about the prices really.

I must be one of the few people who doesn't have a cell phone, so I have ordered a Yubico key for authentication.

I carry a decoy one. Everybody thinks they have to capture my yubikey, too.

Mouse died. Got a Razer Viper 8K. My first Razer product. Feeling is good. I quickly tried some CS2 and got used to it faster than I thought I would.
Also got some thermal pads since I had a discount coupon expiring at the end of the month. Brand name is kinda funny though.

Can't say anything about the 8K, but I really do like my Ultimate. Plus, it gives me peace of mind of never having the main mouse switches chattering ever again.

The new purchases have already been installed, only a new Seasonic Vertex Px 1000/1200 power supply and something like 7900 xtx Tuf, Taichi, Nitro+ or 4080 S but I still have to wait for the price in Poland.

 

[Chomiq]

Nowe zakupy już zamontowane, tylko nowy zasilacz Seasonic Vertex Px 1000/1200 i coś w stylu 7900 xtx Tuf, Taichi, Nitro+ czy 4080 S ale na cenę w Polsce muszę jeszcze poczekać.

On topic:
Phantom Spirit 120 is here, going to mount it after work. So far a little comparison of stock fan against XPG Vento Pro (aka modernized Gentle Typhoon):

Stock weighs almost nothing in comparison to Vento Pro. Spec'd for 1500 vs 2150 rpm.

 

[Ruru]

Hey thanks for the reply and info, sweet stuff!
That surface tho looks sick to me, i would keep those indentations if at all possible, looks like it went through an intergalactic war, what's the story behind those???

It's just a "holographic" surface of the original MX518, they had that even when new. Here's a random pic from google for example:

Damn, there are modern GTs? Now I'm interested. The old ones 10+ years ago were dope when I used those in an AIO, I had 2x 1150rpm ones as a push-pull config in a 120mm AIO. I was surprised how well a 120mm AIO performed after swapping the crappy stock fan with those.

My G400 performed great until cable issues. Wish they'd re-release modernized MX518 with high QC standards and no shortcuts on quality of materials.
