What is in stock at Newegg right now?

 

Picked up a Next Level stand for the racing wheel. It wasn't exactly stable attached to the desk:

I've been using an Intelimouse or rebrands of it for about 20 years, this is different but it feels nice not having to lift my mouse to go side to side on the screen. It's got a lot more sensor than I've been using.

Ahhh yes, it's a night and day difference isn't it? I wasn't even a huge fan of the 1400dpi limit the original MX Master had! Couldn't stand that.

I'm using it on the 1800dpi setting and it's a big difference, going higher is just way too much ZOOM ZOOM. I do like the slow toggle on the side for precision pointing.

More ram for my server and I wanted more bits. Can't have too many tools.

 

Man, ifixit makes one of the best tools, also there consumer support is really good.

I've started to figure out this whole Adult thing. Impressive I know.

 

Decided to buy some decent quality cookware, as I'm actually cooking alot now. And holy hell is it expensive. But atleast it's got a lifetime warranty.

 

Cooking and jamming out to random music in the kitchen is probably my favourite past-time right now. I've actually dragged my PMC Fact.12's in to the kitchen, much to the annoyance of my S/O.

 

[HanZie82]

Some sticky stuff. Cus i need 2 to become 1.

Also ordered from Asia, as buying here is 10 times more expensive. (1,44€ vs 15+)

Wow, where the jealousy button?
Also glad to see there's ppl that know not to get that Teflon crap.

[dizmo]

Picked this up today for $20. After many weeks of waiting for a good deal to pop up. It's amazing how different toner cartridge prices and lifespans vary from printer to printer. Definitely needs a bit of research to get the most for your money.

I mean, it doesn't have to be. You definitely bought some higher end stuff if you're dropping that kind of money on a casserole dish. There's always cheaper options

I decided to hop on some Le Creuset stuff because it's both a "Buy for life" item, and I've got quite a few fond memories of cooking with family with some Le Creuset pans, which have become one of many heirlooms. I think it'll be worth the money in the long term.

Eh, I've had some good luck with Teflon coated stuff from Trago Mills. But I've had some Teflon coatings totally go to shit after not much time, so from my own experience it's kind of hit and miss.

 

I do still have some Iron baking trays that my grandmother has replaced, and they're going strong after a fair amount of time, and alot of yorkshire puddings.

Finally got my new MP3 player. Oddly, it came with a necklace as well, which I gave to my mother.

The volume dial has a very slight wiggle to it, but apparently it's the same with all AP80s. Other than that I love the design, weight, and once I actually get around to loading a microSD with music, hopefully sound.

 

If only it was the Ultimate. Have you used it yet? Almost bought one myself today.

How does that have almost 4,000 pieces?

What's the model of that screwdriver set? Looks nice. 

 

I saw the kit and searched google for one ASAP. Order is on the way.  Nanch H1B Ultimate 55 in 1 Precision Screwdriver Set

My laptop doesn't have a webcam and I do not own one either

Picked one off from Ebay and just came today.

Model:https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-C922x-Pro-Stream-Webcam/dp/B01LXCDPPK

 

Basic Specs: 

• Resolution: 1080p 30fps, 720p 60fps
• Has built in mic (I have no clue on how good it is though)

Pics:

Spoiler

 

Thank God that this webcam works with thin bezels.

I was kind of worried that it might overlap the screen but it seems like that is not the case at all!

well that's neat.

NEVER, ever, ever ever ever buy cheap tools unless they are quality tools on sale. Yes, cookware is a tool.

Just when I thought it couldn't be done. And for retail. Thanks, finally! AMD Direct!

CF to IDE, a video capture USB device, and a hdd enclosure for my 1tb drive.

I made the mistake of buying a cheap screwdriver once, I was working on a camera, bridged the flash capacitor to discharge it and turned out it had a lot of current left in it. Very loud pop, and there’s a burn mark on that screwdriver to this day where I touched it to the negative lead.

Honestly, not worth the price though.  I did give into scalping and had a 3090 for development and sold it for a fair price for a few reasons.  It helped pay for a few things.  Went back to a VII for now, but I'm waiting out for a card with HBM3.  I know if I go Nvidia, I'll probably need a Quadro and knowing AMD they'll slap it on their high end/s and whatever they name their next pro cards.  I was getting into AI development and doing a lot of rendering.

The RTX A6000 isn’t as offensively priced as some older Quadros, the Quadro 7000 was like $15,000 at launch around 2012 (pretty sure that’s the year?)

[SpookyCitrus]

Recently scored on Newegg Shuffle, was able to grab a 3090, it was paired with a X570 Workstation motherboard so I'm currently in the process of selling that and I also had to upgrade my case in order for the card to fit in my rig and also decided to snag a new cooler as my 240mm recently started having the pump get sluggish and temps started to get a lot hotter, my custom cables only had two pcie 8pin connectors so I had to order an extra one that I have not received yet. Specs are in my signature but I'll still list the new parts.

 

New Parts:

Asus ROG Strix RTX 3090 Gaming OC

3x 140mm Noctua AF140 Chromax Black

Phanteks P500A Digital - White

Corsair H150i PRO XT 360mm AIO

Haha, yeah. I think you'd have gotten the same quality at half the price with a different brand, but I get the idea.

I mean kind of, but there's a lot of lifetime stuff between cheap and Le Creuset

I've used the method of buy a cheap tool for something I'm not doing often, then if I end up using it alot, I'll upgrade it. But stuff I know I'm gonna be using alot, is life dependent, or is under alot of stress, I'll always buy good quality tools.

 

Using this method, I've amassed cheap tools for stuff like banging crown races onto bike forks, setting star nuts etc. Then I've got expensive tools for stuff I'm doing constantly. Such as Abbey Bike Tools for bearing presses, pedal wrenches, hammers etc. and Park Tool for stuff like allen/hex wrenches.

 

Another thing I've learnt is getting a good breaker bar on cars. I managed to bend an Ebay special bar on my 911. Apparently 700Nm is alot.

[DrMacintosh]

Replaced my aging 42mm Series 2 with a new 44mm SE. Got it on sale at MicroCenter for $289 (MSRP $309). It’s very nice and significantly faster.

Just got this thinkpad L380, probably the best built laptop I've ever had, the laptop itself is very sturdy and feels great. Not to mention that it's in pristine condition, worth every penny of the 300£ I paid for it, plus it still has 10 months warranty.

Man, you got an awesome deal!

I just bought some met-I mean methylphenidate^/j

[FloRolf]

Bought an AC because I live in the attic and this week we'll get over 30°C, which means close to 9000000°C in the flat. Due to work from home I finally had to do something.
