Is he taking GPU's from old cards or making new ones? Either way that's really cool!

 

 

I grabbed a GTX 1650 generic OEM for $120 shipped for building a new PC for my stepmother. I might keep it for my folding rig and get her something lesser, she doesn't do a lot of crazy stuff that would even need something beyond a good AMD APU so I may go that route instead.

You can still actually find trays of all the needed chips, in varying quality.

At the moment on ebay alone there are trays of VSA-100, and TMUs available to get, some are sourced from old places in Taiwan where made originally.

Put this setup together in the last lockdown in my house, made the boxes and also painted them, the sub box is very unfinished though and has been changed a bit too much...

New phone. Technically verizon paid for it. Got over 500 for trade in plus 250 gift card for switching. Not a bad deal! Free is always good. Iphone 12 pro I'm now one with the sheeple.

Hope you enjoy your new phone, though. Got an iPhone SE recently and I've been thoroughly enjoying it.

Dumb question, why the PC power supply and amp and not a wall powered plate amp for the sub? You could have ran a much much smaller and cheaper PSU for the head unit or just a straight up 12V power supply or something like a Lepai amp for the focals?

Thats a great mouse. Supposedly a wireless ultimate verison is in the works.

Yup, the Viper Ultimate has been out for a bit.

 

I went for the mini because I wanted the lightest one possible (very happy with it), and because I don't have $150 to spend on the Ultimate

 

The Viper Mini is a much more affordable $40

Not powerful enough to push 1kw, those amps are over £600. The PSU is just for the sub amp, 300RMS on 2OHM's but peaks of 700.

The amp powering it is a 800w Class D 400.1 from Vibe audio, it cost me just £65 and i only payed £135 for the PSU as it was used.

Yeah ive seen ive seen it go on sale often for less than $30 its crazy value. I did consider the ultimate but i think the viper mini ultimate would suit me better.

 

 

 

As for my contribution to the thread i recently bought the thinnest and lightest cord on the market to replace my Ultralight 2 stock cable

 

Its absolutley fantastic. Its the closest you can get to wireless without going wireless. Although theres no stress relief on it...

Ah things are much cheaper here, 1000W plate amp is like $250. I guess running on 12V is nice, you can put some terminals on the outside of the box and toss it in your car.

Got an SSD for my Xbox One motherboard build. Also got an NSFW book for... reasons... all of which involve my boyfriend...

By the way, that motherboard comes in tonight, so expect some pictures of it very soon.

Today’s purchases, I returned the fiio k5 I bought because of its lack of a mic input. Hoping this set up works better for my needs 

 

also bought a viper ultimate to replace my naga. I wanted a wireless mouse that was a bit lighter so this should be perfect 

[tikker]

Since everything has turned into a telecon nowadays I got a Rode NT-USB Mini with a cheapo boom arm and it's such a step up from me XPS 13's and Samsung earbuds built-in mics. USB microphones seem to get a lot of hate, but for €100 I'm impressed with how good it sounds.

Time to do cut some stuff up to pieces.

And free since I bought the battery set at Home depot.

 

Best part is that the charger charges both the m18 and m12 batteries!
