[donggun222]

My 290. Still lives (I hope). Needs a BIOS flash but other than that it should be fine

Same here, had it since launch i flashed my 290 a year ago, this card is amazing

[Chaos_Sorcerer]

My HD 598s, which I picked up on Black Friday for just $100, or my 290X (I have the "X" model ). 

[Space Reptile]

[Duskie]

Also 290.. Though it was £319

I am all for PC but way back in 2011 I bought the Xbox 360 Elite the black one and I must say I am extremely satisfied with it, I gamed a lot with it and I took it to a friends college fraternity house, which was played on almost daily a lot, the controllers passed by a bunch of hands for a couple years, even when not being played on was playing music 24/7.

Now it's still connected to my TV and sitting there, I hardly use it nowadays because I prefer going with the PC but I mean it was an excellent purchase, consider how much it was used (or should I say overused)  and it never  broke nor shown any issues at all, fully functional by today.

Brainwavz HM5 pads. These babies make any headphone with less than fantastic stock pads a dream.

That said, I love my ZMF cowhides more, but the price to performance isn't exactly as fantastic considering basic HM5's can be had for $16.50 USD, and ZMF Cowhides are up at $60 USD

 

[Coaxialgamer]

My 290x's.  Must have gotten the pair for 400-ish dollars,  back when it was competing with the 970.

[ElZamo92]

I have a couple of those. One is my MacBook Air I got for $700 this Black Friday, I love the amount of battery life I can squeeze out of this machine. Another one is my H80i that I got for $50 a couple od years ago. And last, but certainly not least, my iPhone 5, which I still use as a portable emulator with a Bluetooth controller. I got it on February of 2013 and it still works like a champ, even if its battery runs out in just a couple of hours when playing GBA games on it. 

[Dredgy]

Eizo EV230Q. Took me 6 months between trying it and buying it. Truly fantastic beast.

Also my Das Keyboard 4. 

[KaminKevCrew]

My Dell UltraSharp 2408 wfp. I've been using it for years, and it's the best monitor ever, imo. The fact that it has 2 DVI, VGA, DP, HDMI, composite, and component video means I can hook anything I want up to it, which is totally awesome. Not to mention, the colors are excellent on it. I'll keep using that thing until it outright dies. That's for sure!

[charles899]

My dc racer ;3

[Indus Monk]

My ATH-M50x, my Xbox 360 Controller, The (now dead) Dragonwar Chaos G7, My Philips 224SE IPS full HD Monitor

[iRileyx]

My pair of HyperX cloud stingers that i got for £29.99 (should of been £49.99) Theyre not the best headset ever, but at this price they're damn amazing. good sound quality and decent bass for a gaming headset.

And my 525gb crucial mx300 that i got for £80 on cyber monday

[Dash Lambda]

The Steam Controller, the Ducky Shine 4 (though it's currently on the healing bench), my T450s, the HD 558's, the Fenix PD35, and the TI-36X Pro.

There are more, but those are the ones that came to mind.

How would the 290X cost that much less (or less at all) than a 290?

I loved my Xbox 360 elite.   I'd waited and stalked every store and website I knew of waiting to get one (this was right after they were released and very hard to find) and eventually stumbled across one at a target store.  I was so happy!  I got the elite and DOA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball 2 so I'd have a game to play until Halo 3 was released.  Too bad it eventually 2 red rings of death (both thankfully covered under MS's extended RROD coverage) and when the second version of the 360 came out I sold my elite and got the new one.  It feels cheaper in quality but at least I haven't had any trouble with it.  

 

Though with the Xbox One, PS4, and my PC I haven't used my 360 much in a few years.

What kind of switches do you have in the ducky keyboard?  

(What's a healing bench?)

 

Weren't you telling someone a while back that a graphing calculator was pointless?  Or is that 36X pro not a graphing calculator or do you have a need for it?

 

Sorry if I seem critical.  I'm just curious.  I have no issues with anything you've bought.   

[BuckGup]

G502, K70 RGB, and 850 Evo

[AshleyAshes]

i7 4930K for $250 CAD after shipping, duty and exchange.  Three years in and still no need to upgrade it.  New GPUs to pair with it?  Sure over time.  But this chip easily has 2 years of mainline desktop usefulness in it.

My Shine has blue switches, serviceable for gaming but awesome for everything else.

And the 'healing bench' is just jargon meaning it's in pieces 'cause I started repairing it and haven't touched it in a while. It had a disagreement with a glass of orange pop.

 

The Ti-36X Pro is a scientific calculator, $20 and does everything I've needed so far (finishing up Diff. Eq. and Linear Algebra, for reference). It's like a graphing calculator that's actually useful, only difference being that it doesn't graph.

 

And don't worry, you're not coming off as critical XP

[Beeeyeee]

My Vive. Worth every single penny. Amazing and it can only get better!

[Noodlefu]

Vapor-X 290 (shame I can't flash it, but it's fast enough with the cooler on it).

Also my MG279Q. Expensive, but holy hell, 57-144hz Freesync (with a hack) at 1440p and glorious IPS is amazing.
