hey guys,

 

One of my techie buddies has his bday soon and I'm willing to spend up to 30eur (not included shipping). Will be shopping from amazon.de but also check out geizhals.at

 

One of my ideas are a be quiet silent wings 2 140mm fan (his current pc is quite loud), a power bank and thats it. He has a mousepad, doesn't want case lightning. 

 

Any other things to consider?

 

thanks!

Longboarders/ skaters message me!

look at kmashi power banks. super cheap, and hella durable from my experience. I left one outside camping, it was dripping wet. tried to charge stuff with it in the morning, tried to charge it a day later when I got home, nothing. emailed the company, they sent a new one(a newer gen) within 4 emails. the old one finally dried out, and now works just fine. even though its seen over a year of everyday use for 3+hours from multiple devices. and been in a school backpacks outside pocket, so plenty of physical trauma. 

 

10/10 would get wet again

Would an ethernet switch be helpful to him?

for that kind of money you can just buy a wifi router with 4-5 RJ45 .

I guess, but can it function as a gigabit switch too?

a switch can't even perform proper forwarding on the network, it will probably be a pain in the butt even if it would be Gigabit .

Wirecutter has a list of their recommendations for battery banks...

Also that ifixit toolkit is an epic gift.
