when i bought these headphones i had no idea they where made out of actual rose gold! o.0

@ShadowCaptain Carbide 88r. Put in a 1,5 cola for size compare. Certainly so small, gonna sit on the desk. Front filters are useless otherwise it's so-so quality.

 

Not much space for that atx cable and front IO cables are about a mile too long for what they need to be.

Spacing, duh. Can fit front 240 Rad but no top.

We suffer from the same "Blue RAM heatsinks look so out of place in my system" syndrome, high five. But the cooler looks neat.

Thanks. My motherboard actually has some blue accents, though the RAM sticks are more cyan. The red DCU2 cooler shroud ruins it anyway. xD

At least I'm glad I didn't get Corsair Vengeance RAM as I wouldn't have been able to install the cooler without blocking one of the RAM slots. :D

Decided that I can wait till later to upgrade the cable for my HEK, so I went and got a pair of KRK Rokit5 to use as my go  'go to' speakers for music (mostly}, some gaming and movies. Also bought a Deepcool monitor stand, like that I can slip my other keyboard below it, more desk space is always good!

Too early to say, I'd barely just set up the speakers before snapping a pic of them. So far, I like what I'm hearing, it isn't 'better' per se compared to the Focal XS Book I had, but it certainly has a nice mid bass slam, the XS Book lack this.....though it is on a whole, a very good pair of speakers. There's a HF adjustment knob at the back of the Rokit5, I'd turned it down one step from factory preset because, while I like treble on cans, I find it annoying through speakers.

 

An issue cropped up, I don't know if it's the uDAC-3 that's causing it, but I do hear a sort of humming, more like soft platter of raindrops when the speakers are turned on, this distortion gets worse when I play games. I'll get back my Oppo HA-1 on Monday, will use a pair of Blanaced XLR cables and see if this issue goes away.....

I had about two dollars left on G2A so I purchased DLC for Alien: Isolation while I could. It was "Crew Expendable" and "Last Survivor". :)

just recently got one them HD converter upscaler devices for my ps2. This way Soulcalbiur 3 doesn't look as bad as it did. But trying to record gameplay from the ps2 is a negative though.

Im bit behind on these but i recently got my self a new keyboard for work. Picked up the G810 thanks to its clean looks and solid build. I also kinda wanted to try the RomerG switches. After it being there a week at least two of my coworkers were considering purchasing one for home. I believe one actually ended up doing it. https://goo.gl/K4ZJN3

I sink my fork into my delicious recently purchased chocolate gateu, mean whilst pondering what is becoming of my ever increasing waistline due to these so called 'genetics'.

 

I wonder, is there a cure? As I pop another bag of delicious Thornton's Chocolates into my mouth whilst lying in bed, one scrumptiously delicious truffle at a time.

 

And then I foresee my future plans for buy one get one free double cheese pizzas with stuffed crusts on Tuesday.

 

But alas, dreaded genetics. Woe is me.

Linus is my fetish.

obtained a thinkpad x230 and good timing to because someone has found out how to mod the bios on these things to enable all the buttons on on the classic thinkpad keyboard if you swap it. Also waiting on an triple usb 3.0 expresscard and a few case feet to make this a bit nicer.

Desktop -  i5 4670k, GTX 770, Maximums VI Hero, 2X Kingston Hyper X 3k in raid zero.
