I understand why lenses are often much larger than the cameras but it's still odd looking.

25 CAD for this pair. Overall I'm happy with them. The bass is a bit lacking and it did take a while for me to get a good seal with the standard eartips. I do like the built in voice overs for listening time remaining and incoming call.

Finally got the adapter brackets from ebay to be able to mount the copper heatsinks to the dual Xeon board.

Got some lighting for one of my shelves, $10 RGB strips at Walmart.  I need more for a couple more shelves with my physical copy game collection.

 

As for this, I’m a collector okay! It was the first console I bought with my money, got it after I graduated high school.  I sold it cause I needed money at the time, and Rock 30 games gave me like $250 for just the console alone.  Sure, when I sold it a couple years ago, I didn’t play it much, and I’m very much realistic with all the issues of the Wii U; but the console holds a special place in my heart, and I am a collector and always vowed to buy another one eventually.

Also, I got a New Nintendo 2DS XL.  The orange and white one, a refurb unit from GameStop (I’ve never had any issues with GameStop refurb units in the past) I just forgot to get a pic of it.

I bought this puppy:

 

Only cost 20€. Looking at the damage, the previous owner bent the display all the way in the wrong direction, snapping it off the hinges and causing them to bend, tearing the WiFi-antennas off, breaking the display-cable, also bending the heatpipes going to the CPU and GPU, and something has been spilled on the keyboard -- most of the keys are either completely stuck or very sticky. The mobo itself looks a-okay, I can't spot any damage to it; it charges the battery just fine, it turns on and all, but I ain't got no DDR4 SO-DIMMs yet to test with, so I gotta wait a few more days for that.

 

It's a Legion Y520 with i7 7700hq and the mobile GTX 1050 Ti, so it's not a bad laptop. If the mobo is working, this is gonna cost about 250€ or so to fully repair, plus the cost of RAM and storage.

Gearing up to take the crown off KingPin's 3DMark score?

HELL ya brother. It was supposed to be 2080s but for some reason they did'ntpreform as well as 1080s for the use case.

ASRock B450M Pro4. Got it for $21.11 on Amazon because I got a large amount of Amazon gift cards for Christmas. 

 

It also has an amazing PCIe layout and even has rear USB-C

 

This is the only configuration of a mATX board that lets you have a GPU, a WiFi card, and still have room for another full size expansion card! 

 

Rear USB-C also is a massive selling point that not enough board makers understand. My case (G5 PowerMac mod) doesn’t have front IO except for USB 2.0....so naturally being able to use a USB-C Dock is a massive convenience! 

 

Imo, this is the only motherboard to consider if you want/need mATX.

i dunno what mATX case you have but i couldn't fit a 2nd GPU in that bottom slot due to my case... not a dual-slot one anyway.

I got one of those laying around. I'd like to put my current build in it, once I finally build a new one. Though that's gonna be a whole project of its own it seems.

Yep, cost me about $200 in kit and power tools. 

 

I used the LaserHive mATX kit with a rear 120mm fan

I actually just sold my “new” 3DS XL to help finance my upgrade from 4th Gen Intel to Ryzen. 

 

I liked the 3DS, but I just never used it.
