Gateron Oil King = Nylon PA66 Top Housing + Gateron Ink Bottom Housing + POM Stem

 

Generic 205g0 Lubricant (3 mL) is for a friend, actually, not me. I’ve still got that stash of lube that I won from Stupid Bullets Tech’s giveaway, as well as my (very) old jar of leftover lube.

 

Most things are for the newly acquired 4398 keeb! 

This one:

43 Studio - 4398 Keyboard Kit

 

The original plan was Durock POM switches, then I remembered Gateron Oil Kings were a thing and thought, “Eh, why not?”

• For initial impressions, I’m decently impressed by the Oil Kings, actually. Factory pre-lubed, and they feel exceptionally smooth. Very easy recommend for anyone looking for a solid stock linear switch.
• The stock Durock POMs aren’t anything too special, in comparison. Your standard linear switch – a slight bit of scratchiness that first-timers won’t notice, probably remedy-able with some lube. Though, I do prefer the clean, brandless housings of Durock’s instead of Gateron’s.

 

Oh, also ye, I finally snagged those 210g (and 180g) springs!

LET’S GOOOOOOOOOO BABYYY!!! 
…My pinky fingers are going to hate me.

Got this for $300 in total shipped off eBay. Current white LPX will go to my fancess white and pink computer.

Since the Motorola I got about a month ago didn't turn out, I bought myself a Google Pixel 6. It was hard to cough up the money for it, and the run around I had with the post office to get it, but I think I'll be very happy with this phone. 

[GamerDude]

Planning to snag a couple of watches, and to the point, a laptop with a min of a Ryzen 5800H, or Intel equivalent. GPU must be a min of RTX 3060, though an RTX 3070 or 6800M would be ideal.

 

With that in mind, I'd gotten a pair of Creative Pebble V3 to be used with the laptop, for enhanced gaming, music and movie appreciation. Below is a pic of said speakers as I was testing it before packing it up again. It works flawlessly via BT with my phone so I did not get a dud.

Apple iPlate on OS 3.2.2. Sadly not 3.2 or 3.2.1, so no jailbreakme, but it's 64GB. Dead power button yes, but the power button is stupid easy to repair - pop off the screen and there it is!

Spoiler

Once it arrives I may or may not be doing some trolling with this picture of a plate:

I bought a 2060/1660 cooler and a fan extension cable so I can fix the annoying fan noise that my 1650 Super has. $40 I probably should have just bought a different card but I wanted to keep it single fan. I'm about 97% sure the cooler will fit...in a month when it arrives from China.

If it's a reference board design and the cooler is for reference design it'll fit

Boards look like they have the same holes and same part heights. I had the 1660 apart and the 1650 apart but not at the same time to try the swap, YOLO.

Headphones for late night gaming, a stand for the headphones and a new mousepad.

Yay, will be able to play a bit more with my 15K RPM SAS HDDs without resorting to the dremel on lots of SATA and power cables...

Bought 3 of these two packs, converted one 2 tube work light and another 4 tube light fixture to install in the basement. Nice bulbs, almost as bright as fresh fluorescent but no humming, better colors, and they have much much better lumens maintenance. It was actually really easy, live at one end and neutral at the other end and I'm done.

Amazon offered 5 monthly payments at $80 so I decided to pull the trigger haven't upgraded my gpu in like 10 years major upgrade from the 7950 I have currently plus I love the small form factor of this.

[ahmad_sh96]

Got tired of buying oem air filters and throwing them each 15,000 km, so got this

i5 10500 for about $120 shipped, not terrible.

[kasugatei]

My previous company had several of tape printing machines and I was able to use them for private purposes as long as the tape cassette was bought by me. So after changing my job I still needed one of those things so I bought one for myself. 
I used the older model, but this one has Bluetooth connection for using with my phone and USB connection to use it with my PC.

[Lord Sephington]

finally got the chance to upgrade my somewhat poorly rtx 2060. grabbed the 3070 for £580 and got the psu for £81.

 

Now my system is what i would call finished for quite a while, dont have to put up with insane coil whine and fan rattle which i had with my 2060 plus now i have more horsepower for streaming withiout having to drop much in graphical settings.

For pretty much 2009 tbh. The drivers are dead in the water so is the trend of sound cards. Should have probably gotten an interface instead.

This is for a mini DTX low profile media system with an i3 9100T and windows 7, it’s the best choice for that use case from my own experience of using many other HT cards.

They're all equally as dead with no absolutely no proper Win 10 driver support and suffering from EMI, etc. I had the best of them, the Home Theater HD and I basically had to give it away.

Simply Win 10 + DAC would get you far better results than all those antic cards combined together...

I’m using windows 7 moreso for the software and lack of Microsoft interference, and I want it all in one box, hence going with an internal sound card.

Im aware of modern solutions, but this use case is where I want to use hardware like an internal card.

Went to a thrift store and got some cables. The score was a apple a1433.

the Sony cable is going to be nice to differentiate my camera cable. Nice to see a fiber for some audio stuff.
