What's your latest tech purchase?

[BlaezaLite]

Thank you......... I join the 50 club

I felt good then, only being 42. Then realised it's only 8 years away... Shit...

4TB transcard 2.5' SSD for day-to-day work, and with that I've completed my new 'sheep' rig (except fans, but as long winter is here I'm good).
My setup already use all 6 SATA port + 2 out of 4 Nvme's and that the base setup.
Don't have enough space in description to write all up.

I'm not sure which one I have but it comes with a button situated next to the wheel - once activated, the rubberized brakes are applied. Once deactivated, you get a super fast infinite scroll effect... which i admit at first was annoying to use but over time i've got used to it.

That's not what I meant, that feature is why I keep buying Logitech mice.
I meant the wheel itself is all metal and quite slippery and horrible in use. The more recent versions have a metal wheel with a rubber surface that you touch, which is much better.

At first I thought you might be talking about my failing EVGA mice, but then finally opened the Logi today, and sure enough, it's just a plastic, non rubberized wheel. Not too crazy about that. Even the cheap wireless keyboard/mouse sets I have around are rubberized.

It's aluminium or some alloy, not plastic.
Regardless, it's not nice.

my latest tech purchase is in my system specs under my name.

new build, just finished it tonight.

Microcenter had a deal I could not pass up, I had to go on a long drive though since they don't offer shipping on this particular deal.

buy a 7700x and get mid-tier (damn near top tier) ram for free and on top of that $20 off a mobo. I got the $199 gigabyte b650m elite mobo for $179.

Yeah, they've been running this for a while. Did two builds for people already taking advantage of this deal.

200 usd ram for free and 20 off a mobo makes it unbeatable if you live near a microcenter.

It's sold out last two times I tried, third time was the charm, but it did sell out within 5 hours at my local microcenter, I just got lucky and arrived right when they opened.

Photos with no celebration doesn't give much hope they won't be back in a warehouse soon.

......so happy to see prices go back to normal...that i randomly bought a bunch of stuff just because they were cheap:


Gtx 1660 Super $100 upgraded sons pc from a gtx 670
Gtx 1660, A320 motherboard, 16 gigs ddr4, ryzen 2600(fried) $50!!! dropped in a 3200g and made a linux box to play with
gtx 960 $25.....just because
Gtx 1070 $100 upgraded other sons pc from a gtx 660
nothing spectacular but just a small bump until i get my hands on some higher end stuff.....but just having fun once again. Prices dropping so quick though.....by the time i post this i'd probably paid too much.

A little touch of white to change things up a bit

Confused; what is the purpose of the Phanteks fan?

Just to provide some RAM airflow that I lost when I moved from the NH-C14S to the NH-U12A

I just wish Noctua would have not written CHROMAX in big black letters on a beauitful white frame that I will be staring at through a glass window case, that is only pet peeve I have about their Chromax lin for all white builders.

edit: on topic: I am using Arctic MX-6 on my new EK 280mm AIO btw

What are the Playstation keys for?

Just 4 extra keys you can bind anything to. Not sure why they went with the PS style, but looks neat.

I use them for media functions.

what's this for when you already have a DH-15?

 

[GerKNG]

what's this for when you already have a DH-15?

the NH D15 has its fan almost sucking in the Cables from the GPU (Testbench, 12VHPWR is on the same height as the first fan)
this one has enough clearance and i always wanted one. (i have two NH D15, NH U12A and two S)

I got the knob version for volume and mute (It can be pressed down), it's a very industrial grade one.

Long story short... our european room share tenant + builder left the UK and left a bunch of stuff behind with us. It was supposed to be a 2-3 week return but its been over 2 years and we haven't heard from him. With a small amount of cash owed most of it was easily covered by the bunch of stuff he's left behind... mostly low value tools and a ton of bits n bobs. Best of em, was this Makita impact driver with a very nice screwdriver/drill set + super fast charger (all seems fairly new with little use). 2-years on i decided to make use of it... although I hope he's ok and would love to have him back (super handy guy without the rip-off prices most builders charge in the south of UK).
