which Ikea desk did you get?

The Besta desk. It's a dark brown/chocolate brown colour, it's really nice! Has plenty of room, good build quality AND because I picked mine up as they were discontinuing it, I got it for a really good price of $65!

'Tech purchases you don't regret'

 

Probably my GTX 780's, I could have gotten two GTX 970's that would have used less power but screw it. I'm not bothered.

 

Another one would probably be my Core i3-2120 that I've had for about two years, people do mock but it is a very good CPU.

i7-920

Perixx MX-1800 mouse

Sony SDM-S71

 

All have stood the test of time, even though the monitor is entirely dated, it provided almost a decade of service.

Logitech M510 wireless mouse

It's not anything crazy like a gaming mouse, but it serves my purposes perfectly and it looks pretty decent

 

Lenovo T500 (not really a purchase) - Core 2 Duo, Windows XP --> Xubuntu

My dad brought it home from work, used it for two years even though not that good, I loved it xD

 

WD Elements external 2TB HDD

Storage 'cause I'm a laptop person

I was skeptical about getting a macbook air but it turns out I use it almost every day for school. The battery is amazing and being able to run all 3 OS's on the same laptop is amazing for developing.

My SSD

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Eric S. Raymond used an E6600 from 2005 until 12/30/14 or open source software creation. Raw data computations in excess of 18GB each. Core 2 Duos still have tons of life left, my friend.

NEW PURCHASE: I just got a pair of Design Acoustics PS8c Speakers, and I must say they are fantastic... They are very hard to find since they are vintage and I know that amazon does not even sell them... Picked them up from an Audiophile guy in my city. 

 

Back to the Speakers... Gets real Loud and Stays really clear!! Bass is extremely accurate and not overwhelming.. Makes listening very enjoyable!

 

Also as a tip I was a big headphone guy for a while and listened to all my music through headphones, ever since moving over to mainly using speakers it has made my experience so much better! I really suggest getting speakers instead of headphones if you are investing in audio!

 

EDIT: I am positive the speakers are around 200-250 watts

My Monitor. A bloody beauty. Asus PB278

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

They take the leftover cuts of PC case after using the premium cuts for Lian Li, Corsair and Silverstone cases, and use the leftovers to make Rosewill cases. You may notice an odd taste when you bite into your rosewill case. This is the "meat glue" they're using to hold everything together.
