My latest hardware purchase....

i will be the one.... wait a minute ... nope, let me add a twist : "you'd be dead in a crossfire" fact™

express post delivery, my @ss ... ok ok i know it was the black friday/cyber week and the post distribution center were ... overrun (seriously...)

still got only 3 out of 5 delivery and the one that got send on the 4th dec is not even here (2 time registered at the distribution center ) no coffee sadly ... but what was send the 5th arrived today and where the tech related one ...

ok correction, it was not a Megaboom 2 but a Boom 2, although it's a LE (Limited Edition ) in the "Panther" color scheme, neat sound almost no distortion, rated 15hrs (5hrs more than the Wonderboom) IPX7 (like the WB) 33m BT range (the WB was also good at that) although some French review did put in the cons : "no NFC" it actually has passive NFC the carry case is from Intertronic and made for their own BTSPK (it's a Swiss brand distributed via local retailer like Coop/Microspot/Interdiscount quite cheap and the quality is not bad at all )

the app for it, is awesome (equaliser, party mode and also putting the speaker on and off via the app )

now i need 149 more ... to check the "link up 150+ Boom 2 Megaboom 2 together" ... hummm .... 149x89chf... it's back to the regular, albeit already lowered, price (initial was 119chf) too bad it's not 49chf hehe that would make 149x40chf spared... oh well one is enough.

now, DL at 3.2MB/s 4hrs, my phone carrier will hate me ... 4G USB tethering between ~ 16.6MB/s averaging : 17minutes left (started it 53 minutes ago )

awaiting for the Coffee goodies ... raaaaaahhhh COFFEEEEEEEE!

ok i settle for an energy drink for now ... *note to self*: "do not put the drink can near the Boom, you can't drink from a BTSPK"

That is an excellent price for that card. it was one of the most expensive 980TIs when it was released.

If you wanted some spare drives I have a few but I think the postage might sting a bit!! :laugh:

I think I have about 5 to 10 drives floating about, 500Gb to 750Gb.. I could do with getting rid as they are a little too small for me and I have, shall I say, a few 2.5" 500Gb drives at home as it is...

That said if anyone would like one, I'd be more than willing to post off some
