What's your latest tech purchase?

[GamerGuy]

Bought an Xbox One X, comes with 4 games (which I think was cool), more for the 4K BR player than anything else.

This will be useful when the aliens knock out global electricity with an EMP.

I also have a slide ruler (The Faber-Castell 2/83 to be precise, which apparently is pretty cool; it's this one but slightly older) so yeah I can definitely analog-Goldblum that shiz right up. The slide ruler I bought for €1 in a crap-shop a whole bunch of years ago, the calculator is from the same place but was €3 (government-run thrift shop).

Spoiler

A tangent is that the place has gone crazy expensive the past few years, I mean rusted knives with handles holding together with tape you can buy new for like €4 and they want €5 for it because for some reason old crap is worth gold these days, no matter how terrible the stuff is. And they google how much stuff in good nick is worth and then take slightly more, and people still buy it. I hate people. I hate everything.

Except my german precision slide ruler.

Picked up a new tablet for browsing, reading, and watching YouTube in bed: Apple iPad Pro 11- definitely overkill but I'm enjoying it a lot. It's one heck of a media consumption device and quality is amazing.

I finally found a mouse I liked and made the Purchase..

It is a Razer Basilisk. I like the mouse but be warned the software must be present, active and logged in to enforce the lights off policy otherwise it cycles through the colours..
Also of note the software does not support my black widow keyboard (the original one with German switches). I would like to program macro`s without having to install 8 revisions of synapse then i would like to remove the software and have and have it stick.. Unless im doing it wrong...

It just feels cool to have the fastest AGP card.

got my daughter a new Computer chair....i was VERY unhappy that she wanted a damn ?gaming chair", but she wouldn't budge on that aspect.....luckily she's only 10, & weighs 55 lbs, so it wont have any issues. I have to admit, it is decent quality, and reclines like a MoFk. Plus i can fit in it comfortably, and im fairly large...but for me , the pillows arent comfortable,

for anyone curious, the brand is "Homall"

 

[witkazy]

Got some "new" RAM. My dad found 32GB of Patriot Viper DDR3-1600 for $75. I bought it from him since my computer can take full advantage of it, and he already has 32GB of memory.

Speed wise, it's about the same as my old memory, though the timings are slightly better.

More stuff coming in for my Ryzen build

Mattrex Case and 3x Seagate 3TB HDDs

 

[GreiverBlade]

a few little addition to my TRN V60 and Fiio Q1 Mark II
1st, Anjirui T400 memory foam eartips (std M 4.9mm int 12.5mm ext)

0.65$ feels great and comfy (generic picture ... a little hard to take a pics of it )


8 core pure copper silver plated 2.5mm Trs Balanced cable

7.95$ does make a difference with the original standard 4 core pure copper 3.5mm Trrs that came with the V60 and look extremely gorgeous.

and a box to .... box the whole set (from the concurrent brand Kz ) the V60 are still with the original silicone tips.

1.29$

and a Fiio CL06 short USB-C to Micro short cable

unfortunately i bought it in Switzerland soooo .... 25chf (minus a little 20% promo voucher nonetheless ) instead of 13$ and 14d wait time if i bought it on AliExpress

+a little extra which can be tech related ... from Battlefield 5 the General De Gaule... oh wait ... Destiny 2 Commander of the Red Legion Ghaul ...

Ergo chair for my back (no gaming chair for me) and new headset too.

Man I have never had a single issue with them after 7 years. I prefer them any day. All my HDDs so far are Seagate except 3 which are 2 WDs and 1 Samsung

But the build begins
