Mine is a three way tie between -

• Box of Kleenex next to my desk during this cold

Ruckus R700 enterprise wireless access point. 

 

It cost me $1000, but every other wireless solution I've tried in my house has been trash and I literally haven't touched it since I installed it. 

We have a bunch of these all over campus, they work okay.

Granted I know when you have thousands of people vying to get on WiFi, things tend to get congested, so I figure it's less fault on the routers and more on the traffic overall.

My U80 smart watch for £8 and my beloved AMD HD 4550 I bought with a system for £50 which looking back on it was too much

 

Edit: My Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo phone for £50 with a quad core CPU and 4.5" screen. It does get slow every year or so. Just needs a quick factory reset and good as new.

Line6 Toneport GX for ~60€. Not the best USB guiter amplifier out there, but it was cheap and after getting it I have rarely fired up my 150W Royal tube amplifier or even my Roland Cube30. Just that I can start Guitar Rig or POD Farm and hav every single amplifier and effect there is in use and I don't even need to worry about disturbing anyone even if I accidentaly get the headphones unplugged.

That looks like a sweet product. If there is a need and you got the $1000 bucks.

Tech wise for me I cant think of any tech product i bought that was worth every penny. I saved a few bucks on my computer. My used iphone 5 was 2/3 off. I have power supplies that were dirt cheap.

The only product I have bought and thought was worth every penny or more are 

 

We-vibe classic and 

We-Vibe 4 Plus

 

even with some hiccups after updates to the We-Vibe app that stopped syncing for a while. Wireless and syncing over the internet made long bouts away from my girlfriend much more bareable along with extra sense of security that she wasn't going to go looking elsewhere well away.

Without a doubt my MacBook Air.

 

My phone, PC, camera, game systems or whatever don't even come close to the value this MBA has given me. What a workhorse.

Dt990 pros for $100

Sarcasm?

whats the sound like on those. Coloured or flat?

Logitech G602 $80 - Cant live without the untethered macro goodness.

Logitech G510s $117/$80 - I never knew that I needed 54 macros to not be annoyed when doing normal PC stuff. (bought it twice and still worth double its weight in gold)

Logitech Z523 $110 - Not the greatest speakers and I overpaid for them but they lasted six years of use and abuse and still work so I've nothing to complain about.

Klipsch Promedia 2.1 $107 - I avoided buying these for years because I couldn't justify the $150 price tag when my Z523's worked perfectly fine. After 30 seconds using them I started to wonder why I didn't just commit and get them years ago.

Audiotechnica M20x $50 - I paid $30 for the crummy Sony headphones that these replaced and I regret every cent I spent on them because I could have had an M20x instead for only $20 more.

Roccat Ryos Mk $58 - You could murder someone to death with this thing.

Lian Li T60-B $105- Dunno if this counts since its a test bench and not a piece of tech but omg its so nice why did I even bother with actual cases before.

Some ~€10 NGS wired mouse I bought in 2009 or 2010. II expected it to be yet another mouse to last a year or two and spare me using the laptop's trackpad. To this day, it remains my main mouse. I guess a pro gamer would find some severe limitations to it, but it's as precise as I can be, and I can't get used to anything smaller since then, it seems it just has the size/shape that suits me best. It's time for some maintenance, though: the paint is heavily eroded on the buttons (OK, not much to do there), and it certainly could use some thorough cleaning -the scroll wheel is starting to be a bit random, the back and forward buttons can go from non-responsive to 3 pages back on one click. I just need to figure out how to open it without breaking it.

 

Despite the infamous trackpad, the laptop I mentioned above was also a good buy, back in 2008. A Dell Studio 17 (P8400, 4GB, HD 3650), got it with 1920x1200 screen after whining to an online sales representative. Added an SSD in 2012, and it's still going strong. Screen ain't as bright any more, but still one of the nicest to look at. Horrible for mobility, but great "transportable" desktop replacement, €800 at the time, with a "free" Creative MP3 player (which I also used extensively).

 

Come to think about it, I think I was a better buyer when I had less money to spend

My HP proliant gen 8 server that is now my NAS box, only around £100 or so (without HDDs) - I now don't have much local storage on my Main PC/laptop as almost everything gets downloaded straight to my NAS and  streamed from it (using FreeNAS). It has also made me a bit more competent, and can now do a freenas setup in a very short time. I have an old PC that I have now converted into a freenas box too for testing purposes, so that I don't mess up my actual NAS box while trying out something and learnign by trial and error, LOL

 

Also worth every penny:-

 

Nvidia shield tv

Nvidia shield k1 tablet

Panasonic 4k TV

xbox one s

My newest PC that I built

[SeraphicWings]

AKG Q701 at 50% off (note that it was sold for quite a lot of money in my country)

Sony MDR 100aap at 20% off (Some Sony headphones including the 100aap in Vietnam are considerably cheaper than the rest of the world, keep that in mind)

Oppo HA-2SE 

 

Welp, all are audio techs rite

Kingston V300 240GB SSD, I've never realized that I needed an SSD until I got one

[Clanscorpia]

My RX 480 

[Sors]

My Radeon HD4670, first modern video card I had that finally allow me to play games,  I used that card soo much, until I sold it to buy a GTX 560.   To this day it is still working fine in the machine of the person who bought it.

[Tieox]

R7 360's got two of them in my old rig, which my girlfriend now uses for Witcher 3 and ESO.  Never gone wrong, always quiet, great cards.

Valentine One. Both my first one in 2007 and its replacement last year. Between the two of them, they've way, way more than paid for themselves in terms of ticket fees, court costs and insurance rate hikes I didn't incur.
