What is something you really want but can't bring yourself to buying?

A second 780ti, because I don't need it yet but I am sure I will eventually.

A nice mechanical keyboard, I want it but my current key board is working fine for me.

2 more 27 inch monitors just so all my screens are the same type and size but what I have now is working ok for me.

A nice tablet, to read on in bed, but I have a feeling other than that I would never use it.

A projector but my living room is pretty small so it might be over kill for the room lol.

I can write a book on stuff I want for my car and truck lol.

A nice pair of IEMs and a 3d printer. I told myself I would buy full-size headphones because they would be good for long rides and stuff, but now I really need a more portable pair. And yes. Just yes. 3d printer.

A full loop. Expensive and so unnecessary in the grand scheme of things, but so awesome and sexy. I'm probably going to break down and get one as soon as I get a graphics card that has a waterblock avaialbe.

A new keyboard....as seen in my sig it's a "keyboard from hell with mismatched keys". 

All i can see on it is that it says it's a logitech. Past that, it's in between a normal keyboard and a miniature keyboard in terms of size. In addition, the "b" key is a slash, there is no slash key on the numpad, and most of the top row of letters are either arrows or function keys...

 

 

...

 

 

But it works!!! And i've been spending a lot of money on restoring my car so i can't justify repalcing a functioning item.. ugh.

Macbook Pro Retina. I love pixels and a solid build, but for half the cost I can get a similar performance laptop with similar specs on the windows side. lacks Iris graphics and a solid build of a apple, but gets pretty close everywhere else

A nice pair of audiophile headphones. I currently have the money for a couple of the less expensive sets but I can't bring myself to do it as my current headphones do what I need them to do fairly well.

Something, something, something, famous quote, computer specs, and stuff...

I'd really like to get a Sennheiser HD800 but I just can't justify to myself spending 1000€ on something that I don't actually need.

They cost a whole hell of a lot more than 1000€ to sound the best they can though, you'd easily end up spending another 1000+ on an amp+dac to tone down the treble :/

 

They are very picky about what amp+dac you use and the quality of mastering of the audio, they can come off extremely harsh and ear-piercing on an amp/dac that are to bright, and sometimes sound underwater with warmer amps.

 

I tried them myself at a hifi store, and the sound changed drastically from amp to amp, I was quite suprised because other headphones didn't do it as much at the same store.

They'd only be used for listening music (I've got the HD598s for computer use) and I've already got a good amp for that, the Naim Headline2 with Naim PSC power supply. I don't know how that amp works with the HD800s but atleast with the HD650s that I currently own it is superb.

A new battery for my laptop. The current one has the warning symbol and the charge only holds for about 30 minutes, but I never go out with it anymore, so I can't see the point in wasting £30 on a battery for something that will never see the light of day again.

Some people try 10+ amps before finding one that works properly with them, they're probably one of the only headphones that changing your "setup" actually makes a big difference with.

 

(or atleast out of the ones I've tried)

 

 

Do you have a way you could rent/ borrow them?  I'd recommend that first, because some people love them to death, and some people cannot stand em.

I really want to have the Cosmos 2 case, it's my favorite case and I love it! I would happily buy it right now, but I can't not because of the price, but because I just simply don't need it yet. I am waiting for Skylake to arrive so that I can build an entire proper system in that big-ass case. :)
