    I paid entirely too much for one of these: A BNIB Microsoft Pro IntelliMouse in Shadow Black. I wanted to get both the Pro and standard versions when they were still in production and I'm paying the price for not doing so.
     
    Very early impressions are good, all things considered. I absolutely love the smaller ambi style of the G203 and GPW, however for being a bigger ergo mouse meant for righties the Pro IntelliMouse is very comfy. And the software is... Surprisingly good. So far only complaint is that the left/right clicks are very snappy and a bit on the loud side, and I guess my universal hatred for braided cables on mice.

    Finally bought some fans for my PC. I fucked up the cable for my stock AIO fans the day I got it when I was desleeving it, and when I took it apart to clean the connector came off sooooo it was time for a replacement. Plus side is these are black instead of having white blades so now the only thing that stands out in my system are the lil A40x20's that cool my SSDs.
     
    Now I'm just waiting on CableMod to hurry the fuck up so I can have the correct length 24 pin and EPS cables, and then I'll finally be able to put the side panels back on this thing.

    Bought this (apparently) brand new 130w power brick for this PC I got for free: an OptiPlex 7040 Micro. Mine has an i5 6600T, 8GB of single-channel 2133MHz RAM, and a 128GB SanDisk X400. My inner dumbass really wants to give it an i7 6700, 32GB of RAM (anything higher than 2400 is overkill, but it'll probably get 2666), and a 512GB MP33. Just for the memes.

    Bought a lil laser printer (the HL-L2370DW) for a whopping $40 because it's been our display model since about Q1 2018. Only printed off 11 pages before my ownership. Just need to clean up the remainder of the sticker residue plus the sticker residue on the back right corner from one of our ancient signage dealios we had on it.

    Bought a second 5-port HDMI switch from UGreen because I have 8 devices and 2 ports on my TV. I'm hoping I can daisy-chain the switches because running the Apple TV through a switch breaks HDMI CEC (aka I can't turn my TV on and off with just that remote when I'm on a TV binge).

    Then there's the HP TouchSmart IQ770 - an odd media machine that I would call more smart TV than computer. It's a massive and quite sturdy all-in-one, coming in at over 40 pounds and sporting a 20" 1440x900 capacitive touch display. It's full of wonderful multimedia features (6 video input ports, optical/5.1 audio, decent 3D acceleration, good speakers, slot-loading DVD burner, IR remote, and hot-swap HDD bay) and features HP in-house software and Media Center plugins to make the best use of the system's features and touchscreen.
    It runs on the very little-known AMD 64 Live! platform - similar to how Intel created the Centrino platform as a set of requirements for business laptops - but AMD's Live! was for media-centered computers (and also far less successful). Uses the nForce 630 chipset, a motherboard made by Asus, Turion 64 x2 CPU, and a GeForce 7600. 
    Oddly enough its TV tuner hardware, a prominent feature of the machine, is a full-size Hauppage WinTV PCI card laid on its back in the bottom of the case. This caught me off guard when I first opened the system for servicing.

    You all might enjoy the latest addition to my rare Pavilion collection - the DV6985 Special Edition. Very nice design, with the vertical lines on the back curving into parting blades of grass and fronds of plants. The rest of the body is a strikingly bright silver.
    Hardware wise it's nothing too special - Core 2 Duo T5750 2000mhz/2m/667, 2x2gb, Intel GMA X3100. Does have a nice wireless card though, triple-antenna Intel 4965AGN, highest-end card of the first Centrino platform. What makes it special is the design.
    Thinking of swapping the board for one of the several DV6000 Nvidia motherboards; could get a little GeForce 8000 card running in here.

    It doesn't matter if you eliminate them from consoles, anywhere else they look the same tactics will be used. You might as well be trying to fight a horde of locusts using only a flyswatter.

    Welcome to pretty much any game that uses anti-cheat. This is not a new thing if you play multiplayer games online.

    Got me some of them got damn racin car wheels for the black Hyken I just got a couple weeks ago. It's absolutely insane how much of a difference for noise these guys can make on hard flooring, and they actually make it just a little bit harder to roll around which actually makes getting in and out of the chair easier.
     
    Also, I may or may not have spent a little more on these ones just because I liked the actual wheel design more.
