Got a new hub and brake rotor for my bike, the old hub's cup's just ate themselves alive and took the bearing's with it, plus the freehub developed some play in it, Now I've just got a wheel to re-build! (also some frame protector's, the shifter cable and dropper seat cable have been rubbing the paint off the headtube)

Sunshine-tipway STW 5.25" Internal Card Reader Media Multi-Function P9A0 aka the fake NZXT Aperture M Dual USB3.0 Memory Card Reader

I had no issues installing it but the screws were small and cheap.  I might have to mod it so it takes standard CD ROM screws.

So suggestions for movie/tv cars I can add to the list... decent ones only please... Not any of that fast and furious crap you see everywhere... things like the Bond Lotus Submarine (that I actually had as a kid and lost/gave away at some point) and the DB5 from Goldfinger.... let me have you ideas. The display shelf unit has room for about 20-25 items on it.

Rubs hands together.

 

K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider

The General Lee from the Dukes of Hazard

Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters

The Pontiac Trans Am from Smokey and the Bandits

The Party Wagon from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo

Black Beauty Imperial from the The Green Hornet

Herbie the Love Bug

Ford Falcon XB Interceptor from Mad Max

GMC G-15 from A-Team

Ford Explorer XLT from the first Jurassic Park

Mach 5 from Speed Racer

 

Some off the top of my head.

Did the theme song from Futurama pop into anyone else's mind the second they saw this?

3 years... The Nexus 5X came out October 2015, but I bought mine the following year when the Pixel first came out and the Nexus 5X was discounted.

Darn shame that the card reader portion isn't USB 3.0 like the port next to it, I hate when they do that.

Either the NZXT one as well.  USB 2.0 on the memory card reader and USB 3.0 for the USB 3.0 ports.  That's why I got the fake knock off one for a cheaper price.  Plus mine has a blue LED not the white LED from the NZXT.  So it matches my case + Antec Blue LED Fans.

I just wish they'd make more internal USB 3.0 card readers, I know the chips exist for it because I have an external one actually two different external ones. Both work at 3.0 speeds. Why can't anyone get their shit together?

Funny story I just need it for CF for my old work PC's that still use Windows 98 SE and I put CF to IDE adapters in them.  Just to image the  data off of it.  To keep the customers data.  Plus I use it mostly for SD/Micro SD and Memory Duo Pro Sticks for my Sony PSP 2000.

If it works it works, I need a card reader sometimes to read the microSD from the dashcams and pulling 500MB files off at USB 3 speeds is MUCH better than at USB 2.0 speeds.

This one might work for you.

I've ran across that one, I'm waiting for something that ditches the CF slot for a CF-Express slot or XQD slot or a combo slot that does both.

When the GT5 trailer came out for the first time back then, and after watch it, that catchy soundtrack of the trailer (Daiki Kasho - Soul On Display) realy stuck in my head for too long. That made me search for the original soundtrack from the artist and kept it in my car, and in my phone, to pump up the spirit to rev the engine harder.

I have listened to it once when I ride my bike for long distance trip, and it made me unconciously push my bike so I arrived in my destination 1.5 hour earlier than I used to be via same route. I was like, MAN! THIS MUSIC IS DANGEROUS, it makes you flat out the throttle unconcously if you listening to it while driving/riding vehicle.

Just put this in my office here at home; there's also a slightly larger one in the basement with my router and servers.  All of which have been upgraded to 2x10GigE.  And no, I'm not talking about the Model M keyboards; they're just sitting on top of the switch at the moment.

Little open heart surgery to replace the 3 noisy OEM fans with much quieter units.  They have a better bearing, and are also lower RPM at max.  Further, they're more resistant and take a bit more juice to start spinning.  That means they spend more time at 0RPMs, which confuses the hell out of the switch's operating system.  It's used to have the fans running 100% of the time at a lower RPM and if it senses 0RPMs from any of them, it throws a fault.  But, if the switch starts to get warmer and add juice to the new fans, they start spinning to keep the environmentals in check.
