Just picked up a 480gb pcie optane 900p for $115 US. Its going to replace the 280gb model in my main workstation. Vroom!

Newegg had a mighty tempting deal on the 1.5gb 905p u.2 version in a broken up bulk pack at around $300.00. Missed that sadly.

I'd like one too....But it's 1268 EURO here.....

U.2 versions are usually way cheaper. Just grab a u.2 to m.2 adapter.

Just go to a different store my dude.

or this.

Replacing the two P200 in front of case with three NOCTUA A14 .

Ordered a new keyboard, went with the BOOG75 Prebuilt,.. https://meletrix.com/products/boog75-prebuilt

I see 349.99 after a $50.00 coupon on the 1.5tb. Plus according to users the 1.5tb is a broken down bulk order, while 960gb 960gb version is getting down there and full retail with warranty + intel branded adapter. I was talking about the 1.5tb which is still a bit too much for me frankly, especially for a bulkpack item. The 960gb is exactly what I paid sans shipping because I'm impatient lol.

Absolute steal at that price if new.

Agreed, I wish it were for me. May be a regional sale or something. Or, more likely we are getting confused on the 960GB 905ps price which while good (and full retail) is not as good as that, lol.

1.5gb which is still a bit too much for me frankly

5.25" for the win.

5.25" for the win.

lol you'd think after all these years I could at least get the units straight.

I resemble that remark.

Back on topic: a replacement screen for this.

So it apparently doesn't like being shut in a door.

got samsung chromebook, 2nd hand but overall the condition is good except small dent on lower right

personal impression, not very fast but pretty fluid and you can rely on it for daily need
just minus you can't have printer setting further and some apps not compatible on chromebook, some has tablet mode and you can't side load apk natively, still need developer mode

Hope pro 5 Fortus rear wheel. was £310. The rear axle is a pitlock one btw, stops anyone trying to nick the wheel.

- Sanwa Supply air duster to actually deal with the dust in my air cooler and hidden in my case.


- 2 Noctua A8 + filters to stick on my fiber modem. The modem isn’t very hot , but just because.
Also Noctua FS2 is … it’s use case is way too specific.


- 5 sets of Noctua NV-AA1-12 airflow amplifier + NV-FM1 fan mount.
The fan mount is sturdy AF, and without that and a specific use case, the price isn’t very justifiable.
The airflow amplifier is very effective on moving air on a longer range with a bit of focus, and it is surprisingly effective when I stick it by hand on the Silent Wing 4 Pro 140mm. (Not so much on a Noctua S12A, but it’s as expected.)
Makes me want to try it on a VERY powerful 120mm fan, like a Noctua F12 iPPC, Silent Wing 4 Pro 120mm, Phanteks T30, etc… just have to make sure it doesn’t pull >5W. Probably will try them all just because…anyway. The PD-supported fan control thingy is a bit wonky. Also A12x25 iPPC when?

 

[Ferrum Master]

The PD-supported fan control thingy is a bit wonky.

Because it is half arsed china crap IC. You have to cherry pick chargers... and for most part older China QC3.0 ones work best. Charger protocols are such a mess actually. There is no fix for that... While yeah the cable is now the same... bet negotiation and still the ambitions for proprietary shit... there is no fix for that.

With my new 3440x1440p monitor now & in full DX12 ultra settings games, just threw a bucket of money on RX 7900 XTX... the old factory OC RX 6800 XT, even with more OC, struggles too much, not too mention the power consumption in the watts per frame metric. Never bought a highest end GPU from either vendor before, so this will be a first.

I bought this set of Ram while looking for fast Ram with tighter timings, which I also bought but haven't received yet.

Brand new Seagate 18TB drive for $170 locally, includes warranty. I might use 3TB of it in total backing up some games, I really have no need for this much storage, but I figured its nice to have, since eventually every ISP will impose data caps unless you pay more and more money, lets face it, that is how they are going to make money in the future and they will keep increasing that cost over time.

So, I figure back up my games, and restore them and I don't have to worry about artificial throttling from those assholes. Win win.

more on the way, but the boxes and the yellow cheap switches are here

took the smaller one but basically they can hold up to 120 switches, top left 120 Gateron red, ideally 100 like the bottom left, neat boxes at a neat price, and i will definitely order more Flaming Skull switches to fill the box (and use them )


the yellow switches have zero marking (well that explain the price of 3.48chf for 35pces : no name ) but they are just as good as the Yusya and Gateron red
in term of noise, they are a bit quieter than the Gateron/Yusya red but not quieter than the F.S. Succubus (i am more and more impressed with these ...)

am i turning into a switche geek?

a few other things are on the way and for laugh, something related to the "sneezing" one, in a much larger scope (tho i got used to the XDA/MDA kind of keycap, ahah.)

Have four 8 GB modules of the same in my old PC, they're good, not great. Hynix CJR in my case.

Got my Pixel 6 back from my cousin last weekend with a new battery.
The battery went bad just before christmas and I only just seen my cousin last weekend.
The phone will be going to my future mother-in-law as her phone is over 8-9 years old now.

just got another amp, my little old york japan made pre-amp failed.

 

[dgianstefani]

Bike parts all arrived.

Now to find time to clean the bike, disassemble, and install them.

I also had a nice Orbea full carbon fork laying around I'll fit.

next!

a TRN BT20 Pro, but why ... i already have the KZ AZ09, well ... the AZ09 use C pin (recessed) and is not compatible with the Chu II and the BT20 Pro can use any pins
a bit sad the carry case suffered a bit during transport ... but it works and that's all i ask


my Ally does not have stick drift (tbf it's still working like a charm, uSD reader and all ) but just in case ...
having a pair of HAL effect stick can't hurt ...



started playing Wuthering Wave recently ... well, i like it more than Genshin Impact it has a better gameplay and feel to it ...

so, when i saw that deskpad ... i could not resist (also because Yinlin is by far the most interesting character, story and gameplay wise) it's RGB but as long as i can set it to red or white : i am totally okay with RGB

after switches ... deskpad are my second "collection" i have five 800mmx300mmx3mm, one 800mmx300mmx2mm (PU leather one, interesting choice of material) and one 800mmx350mmx4mm
