Not a purchase, but I got sent a 4690K to replace the G3258 in my file/Plex/Minecraft server. First time my G3258 hasn't been installed in this board since I bought them in like 2014.

So many fond memories. Several times a month when I was in middle school, I'd use one of these and get dinner ready for when my parents and sibling would get home. I want to say it's still floating around in someone's garage, maybe it's time to see if I can figure out who and barter with them so I can use it again...

 

They are wonderful machines, excellent craftsmanship and will last several lifetimes if cared for.

My 16-35 2.8 has arrived! Body is almost mark free and is optically, it's perfect! No decentering, autofocus seems to work perfectly. 

 

Also bought a K&F 82mm ND filter plus a Phot-R 82mm polariser. The Phot-R was £8 so don't know about you but definately worth a try. Also ordered a 77 to 82mm step up ring, which will let me compare the £8 Phot-R to a nice 77mm Hoya polariser so guess we'll see how good it is!

New wired router (TP-Link ER605) didn't have time to take pictures, so here's a screenshot ;

 

 

 

It's to complement my 2 EAP225, next purchase is going to be a EAP110 to keep my outdoor security wireless stuff connected properly (having wireless issues with a few things since the APs are indoors).

That S-XBS EQ curve though!

The funny thing is that it's not built-in to the walkman, it's implemented in the remote (that's permanently attached to the stock earbuds, groan). And... well, it's only to compensate for the fact said earbuds are absolute garbage.

Plug some decent phones, that'll have more bass without S-XBS than the stock buds with it 

They hurt ears like mad too, had forgotten how bad things were back then.

 

Anyway received belt and calibration tape, it's alive and adjusted

Love the PCB brushless motor

2 Cisco ATAs so I can do this:

 

 

 

 

 

I can now fax to my multifunction instead of just printing like a pleb. And configure the MFP to forward faxes to email

Hot Box parts are all here. 5e cable was on sale too.

Well I couldn't find the new Lian Li AL120 fans in Canada.  Newegg preorder was only for US and I was told mid August here in Canada for release date.  So I ordered them from Overclockers and they got here in 4 days.  

From Performance PCS I got 2 - 120 x360mm fan brackets, 2 NB-eloops and extensions.  

I've been lucky with duties and such also.  

I had no charges for my speakers from ZZsounds, Overclockers or PPCS on items totaling over $1700.  I should go buy lottery tickets.  LOL

Whats with the LiPo?

Didn't want to bother bringing a mains extension to power the ATA next to the printer, so used my portable power supply.

LiPo is an old 6s/8000 leftover from when I was building/using/selling large custom drones.

Oh cool.

I might buy one and build it around a pelican for field work.

How good is it?

Noticed that the output of my current one is horrible (probing the current with oscilloscope).

 

I've never looked myself, but there are tons of reviews out there. Got a bunch of them and never had issues for anything I've done with them. 

 

 

The DPH5005 is the one I use the most just out of convenience since it's a buck/boost so anything in->anything out, if I need 24V I don't need to go hunt for a source above that. 2nd is the DPS3005 because smol. 

[Kilrah]

What's that for a PSU? Pretty bad indeed... Is that in CC or CV?

[Kilrah]

Hmm it's a bit difficult to come to a conclusion with such a setup with 2 variably switching things and looking at current... You wouldn't really look at current when you're trying to characterise a voltage source. If it's in CV then it's the voltage that it's trying to hold so voltage ripple is what you'd want to look at, current is just a consequence of the load's behavior.

...and I'm done.  Got all the parts for my beast build.  Now all is left is to measure up a few things draw some sketches and send it to the Acrylic shop to get the side panels cut for the fans to fit.

I was impatient and paid scalpers for one months ago.  Playing Ninja Gaiden Black and the better version of NG 2.  I also have both non-sigma versions of 3.  I won't open the collectors edition of 3 as it comes with a statue, and NG statues tend to stay priced high.  I do play other games on it too that are a bit more modern.  Though, I play on PC and PS5 more.

 

My Switch is my most used system, but the first game I played on the Series X was Halo Reach.  It's my favorite halo and I had to play it in 4K

A Keychron C2 to replace my Apple Magic Keyboard. Seriously not bad at all!
And I sold the Magic Keyboard for more than I paid for the C2
