We usually need to replace ours after about a year and a half.

well this is just until I get another PDP Afterglow Wireless Controller for PS3

[Prox1ma]

New fans and rgb strips. I may have overdone the rgb parts, but pretty happy with the end result  Oh and finally got to fit the old sentry3 fan controller that was just lying around.

I bought this last week, it just took until today for me to get it. 

 

It's an iPhone 4s that I got for $20 on eBay. It's running iOS 6.1.3 and is in pretty good physical condition. There are some minor scuffs and scratches on the screen, but nothing bad for the price I paid for it. There is also some weird delimitation that happened under the corners of the screen but it doesn't affect the display any:

Here is a little album of some more pictures I took of the phone:

I've been able to log into my iCloud account and install some apps. iMessage sadly does not work anymore and there is no AirDrop on iOS 6 so I had to set up a shared PhotoStream to get photos to and from it conveniently. Right now it makes a great iPod and classic mobile gaming device

Motherfuckers think I'm kidding when I say I buy tape lots for one tape. Here's a cover art scan of that one tape I bought it for.

Yes, I spent a grand total of $19.50 on ten VeggieTales tapes because I wanted one tape out of the collection.

Rip money

 

No offense but I am wondering how people in Bulgaria can afford that expensive tech. I assume it is also ~1000 €

Not to be a party pooper, but I wouldn't even have paid £20 for that. I would return it.

Corsair VS series is known as Very Shi**y for a reason.

[Radioactive Snowman]

Just picked up a new headset for my PC, I'm still in work so haven't been able to try them out but the unboxing experience is pretty much the best I've seen on a headset. I also only paid €90 as gamestop had a sale on all hyperx products

I have to agree with Nocte. The VS are not very good PSUs and that is one of the older models as well. I'd recommend you return it if you can. Just trying to save you some trouble and headache down the road.

Not trying to spoil your fun, but, yeah... Not a good buy. While not a fire hazard, it's still not worth buying these days. The orange label VS550 is a 5-6 years old low budget unit and has been discontinued for a while. If you can, return it to where you bought it from (amazon?) and look at getting something else. The newer grey label VS which replaced the orange label one would be a slightly better pick, but I'm sure you could probably get some better stuff for around 40 pounds like the Be Quiet System Power 9 or preferably even the Pure Power 11 400w. 
If you do want to swap if for something else send me a PM and I'll be able to give you some more help or post in the PSU section.

I'll be the one to say it: A green label CXM would have been a better buy.

 

Then again, apparently both of mine are godtier and apparently Just Work™ (aside from the fans getting obnoxious about 6 months in for both).
