Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

Dell G2410 LED screen for my macbook.
The colours are shocking out of the box (damn hippies and their eco modes!) but a bit of tweaking and this is a very nice screen for £200! It is a TN panel though if that puts people off. I'm not too fussed though.

 

Well i went to the auction listed in the FS forum today and came back with


The 275s were originally planned for a folding rig and the 4870x2 was for my main rig but the other half doesnt seem so keen i should have asked before i went really, Ive tested them and there all fine, but think they were RMA's.

So ive now got a 275 in my main rig, hardly an upgrade from the 4870 i had but it feels a bit smoother in games.

 

Train ticket to London to attend Microsoft delegate event

Scythe Kaze Master fan speed controller.
A some primer, some black satin spray.
Uv green tubing.

Not a purchase but should be getting a new front mesh bit for my case thanks to a legend at coolermaster and a legend here at bit tech.

So hopefully my case will be rather stealthy as soon as royal mail start delivering the backlog, bloody strikes!

 

Unfortunately they talk funny there...


And yes, it will be raining.



The girls in Bergen make it all worth it, though.

 

I'll be going to the university book store with 650 cash, hopefully I can get my 3 or 4 books, my clicker, and 1 program for that, if not, gonna have to leave 1 book behind.

 

Well the fan speed controller that I ordered at 2:30 yesterday afternoon is here already. But things that were sent last Friday still aren't, I hate the royal fail so much.
