300 new static shielding bags
some iron
new caps for my retro-hardware, mostly 6.3v / 3300uF which are crap on 2000-2003 mainboards...

Hell yeah got my new keyboard, those Romer-G mechanical keys are quite unique, the feeling is awesome; soft yet precise.

My cozy "finished" setup, for now... You can see my ghost in the window, hello world!

Unfortunately, Logitech doesn't sell mechanical tkl keyboards

.

It would be so beautiful tho! I love the minimalist style, and it fits perfectly with my monitor lol.

But, I typed this on one... Granted, it's discontinued.

Do these count?

The G915 TKL, Pro X and Pro beg to differ.

framebuffer · Feb 26, 2021

yes of course Logitech does have TKL keyboards, what I meant is that I would like to have a G512/G413 TKL variant

I am still in disbelief but I scored an MSI X399 SLI Plus from the computer store for $200. It was listed at $399 CAD and I submitted the order. The store sent me an email that it was missing the manual, ARGB cable and was open box. As a result they were willing to sell me the board for 50% off the price. So I have one of the best X399 boards with a manufacturer's warranty. I had budgeted for $400 as the build was a $2000 request. I used the other 1/2 of the budget to buy this.

Silverstone IceGem 360, 360mm ARGB AIO Liquid Cooler with 3 x 120mm ARGB Fans, Threadripper TR4, SST-IG360-ARGB : Amazon.ca: Electronics

www.amazon.ca

It is nice to see that we are starting to get access to more product here in Canada. The price is actually very competitive for a 360 AIO in CAD dollars. I am sure the customer will be over the moon when they see their completed build in a Phanteks Enthoo Pro 2.

AltCapwn · Feb 26, 2021

Oh well, I should had searched a bit more :laugh:

. Forgive my disinformation.

Got a little upgrade a couple of weeks ago. I'm wa-a-a-ay too broke for 5800X or even 5600X, but a streak of luck brought this puppy into my hands.
Did a little swapparoo in order to build a cheap-ass gaming PC for a friend, gathered some spare parts and sacrificed my trusty 1600X for it, and along the way found a favorable trade for brand-new and sealed 3800X. I guess you can find all kinds of interesting things on a local fleebay, especially when you spend 3 days scrolling and clicking for a cheap GPU

Tossed out my crusty 30-year old tooters to make way for these Hella Supertones that would give anyone nearby a good jump scare. Tight fit behind the grille.

robot zombie · Feb 27, 2021

Mhm, the range on those tooters is best in class. A twofer, at that!

Range is important for safety, of course. The sooner granny hears that horn, the sooner she can begin running like she hasn't run in 60 years. Good on our man PooPipeBoy, here - looking out for the elderly and helping to keep granny fit!

Caring1 · Feb 27, 2021

I too am a fan of a nice set of hooters.

Picked this up the other day.

These are really handy, especially since I don't have any DVD drives fitted to my main PCs any more. I have the same model and I'm glad I didn't sell it because I still use it for ripping and the odd customer wanting transfers to pen drive.

I miss the days when the new fire alarm signals were pretty much that! (not a dual horn set for where each horn is) (I remember fire drills in the 1990s) (now they sound more like referee whistles, LOL)
