Filled up my 90g tank time to move onto to the new 150g.

 

What kinda fish do you want to put in it? Looks like it could use some plants, roots, stones etc.

Bought a Samsung WL powerbank, a couple of used Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SATA SSD's (couldn't resist the price), an RGB Mouse mat, and a gaming chair (price was too good to resist on the 11.11 sale here).....and a Boxy watch winder. Will post pics when I get 'em all, just waiting for the chair to come later today.

 

Edit - Forgot to add that I'd ordered an UAG case for my phone as well, expecting it soon, so I will post pics when I have 'em all.

A Pi 3 B+ that will be paired to a 3D printer I have on order (well, backorder as it seems a lot of folks pre-order the darn thing).

 

More figs for the army.  I keep gaining more expensive hobbies.

Just built a new Gaming PC :) Had a small budget (£580 / $740).

Asus ROG Strix X470-F Gaming for $70 shipped. I need to replace the socket top cover and CPU lever arm. Socket is about $8 from China. I have RAM, need a CPU, thinking a $100 R5 2600 and a very light OC to hit 4.0 on boost. That along with my RX 580 should 1080P game just fine and maybe do OK at 1440p as well. This is my first AMD system since a 700mhz Slot A Athlon!

Which one?

btw. nice move to buy a case and a 3d printer which can print cases. 

A Prusa Mini.

Spoiler

 

The kit came with the case.

@Ithanul Exciting printer. Time will tell if the small hype was justified.

Hopefully it is solid.  As it will be my first printer.  I already have several projects lined up that I want to do.  None of them are items that will be done in a day but require a lot of work across a few weeks to even months.  Especially that Warlord Titan I want to do.

How large is it? Most people doing figurines like SLA.

 

Also welcome to the rabbit hole.

Well, the full scale, when put all together is 22".  Some folks done in it FDM and it looks great.  Just requires taking time to post process it.

I already know what theme I'm going for as I want to rock the Sisters of Battle.

Planning to nab a resin printer next year to do like small figs.

I did not know DeWalt had a 20v heat gun.  Looks like I know what I'm getting this weekend.

Spoiler

It's a 2070 Super though, I promise! This cheap stickers says so:

I also had to replace my earbuds, these have been pretty good for the week I have been using them:

Spoiler

 

Might do a small review on them ( a mini review, some might say !!!! )

 

For an upcoming project I had some Gateron Blue switches laying around, but wanted to try some Kailh Box switches, so got some Jades:

Spoiler

These are so much more tactile than Gateron Blues or really anything else I tried! Like them so far! They are quite loud though..

Will probably order some more.

The person I bought the tank from ended up calling me back and asked if I wanted to take some of the fish that where in the tank previously.  They where getting picked on too much by his other fish so I ended up rescuing them.  Ended up with a gold nugget pleco, 2 border loaches, 2 gouramis, and an albino bristlenose pleco.  There was a 3rd much smaller loach that we couldn't catch so we gave up on him.

 

 

As for other fish I'm trying to track down some more loaches to try and get a bigger group of them.  Next fish will be a pictus catfish and then a probably a couple of senegal birchir (dinosaur eel).  Probably wont stock any more that that in this tank.

[redbread123]

my first 240hz monitor, switch from 60 to 240hz makes 60 feel like a slideshow. also I can land flick shots so much better now and g sync is a plus for triple A games.

Panamax MR4000

Got what is essentially a rackmount powerstrip with some built in filtering and surge protection. 
I was going to get a tripp lite rackmount isobar for $170 but this was on sale for significantly cheaper. Specs aren't amazing, but it'll work.

This one is more targeted for home theater. It fits in nicely in my media center. Working on getting a rackmount UPS and isolation transformer within a year, but first I need my rack and receiver/audio setup.

Bought $400 ski pants brand new for $40. Those are new old stock and this model is discontinued for years. I was using my alpine climbing hard shell pants until now so finally no more show entering my leggings because of the lack of integrated gaiters. Now I finally have a right tool for the job.

Got sick of LED lights kicking the bucket after about 6 months so I decided to jump back to CFLs. Hopefully they're as reliable as the last lot of CFLs I used which, afaik, are no longer produced
