Photos Latest Purchases Thread: v2.0

For the moment Im going to stick with the ultegras that were on my old bike, only have good things to say about them. (Apart from falling over at the traffic lights once, in front of 2 huge queues of traffic and a whole bunch of pedestrians... Even I laughed at me.).

Ive never tried look pedals though, so im pretty much just sticking with stuff I know works for me now. Maybe a pair of Look Keos for christmas

 

Please, if you want to start a discussion about Apple-products and the different views about them. Do it through pm/new topic and stop derailing this thread..


Bought a Playstation 3 for Infamous 2 (my sole reason) and God of War 3 bundled with it as well. Any other games I should look out for?

 

Ratchet and clank series,
Uncharted series,
Resistance,
Motorstorm.

I really only play PS3 exclusives on my PS3 but there some top notch games there

 

Yeah me too, plus it's a decent media streamer and blu-ray player. I would also recommend Heavy Rain.

 

Agreed on the whole "An Apple computer and any other brand of Windows x86 or x64 based system are also computers, therefore they are all PCs". That's something that has bugged me for some time. The Whole "Mac vs PC" thing was pretty pointless.

Anyway, I remain convinced that a fast enough 15" MBP will be powerful and compact enough for me to use, provided I can get Win 7 to dual boot on there because there is some software that I'll want on it that I'm simply not buying again just for OSX and some that is simply not available.

 

Bought a frisby ..for the dog. He doesnt like it much as it involves having to run for it (I havent attempted fetch as it just gets me a filthy sideways glance) .. lazy bleeding hound
So epic Fail ..

 

You can teach it to play. Give it treats when it comes back to you.

Some tips: HERE

 

Resistance (whole series)
Demon's Souls
Dark Souls
Infamous (original)

 

A fair old shopping list...

- Dell XPS laptop
- 2TB External HD
- CM Storm Sentinel Mouse
- OCZ ModXStream Pro PSU (old one in my main rig bit the dust)
- Couple of 8GB flash drives
- Prescription glasses & sunnies
- Swiss Gear laptop backpack
- Tetanus/Polio/Diptheria and Hep A jabs
- Amazon Kindle
- Several pairs of jeans and shorts (I own more t-shirts than a human ever needs)

Almost ready for my move to Dubai, just a few things left to sort out! Been a damn expensive couple of months!

 

Asrock Z68 PRO3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
BeQuiet Pure Power L7 530W '80 Plus' Power Supply
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

2600k 24x7 folding machine en route

Hopefully bigadv will work ok with just 4Gb, if now I am swapping the 2x4Gb from this machine.

 

*stupid double post*

 

G9x best mouse EVAR!

 

One of these from here

http://www.scan.co.uk/products/boogie-bug-aim-bpad-xl-desk-mouse-mat!-worlds-largest-mouse-mat

£15 for a mousemat big enough to sleep on. 450mm by 90mm.

And a Sony DVD drive for my R3 as I currently do not have one....

 

Two pairs of specs.

 

These are pretty cool. Make me want to have slightly worse eyesight.

 

Work at a media company in Hoxton and ride a fixie bike do you?

 

Speedplays all the way. Ligthweight, dual sided, fully adjustable float, lowest stack height etc etc. Just a bit expensive and high maintenance. Never tried SPD-SLs, but had a decent run with Keos, just got fed up of replacing cleats.

Not a purchase per se, but got my Garmin 500 back from a colleague. Bought a new rear light to replace my Joystick while I send it back to be repaired. Need to get some new tubulars for the cross bike.

 

I just bought 20$ skullcandy earphones to temporarily replace my broken CX300-II and...

WOW

THEY

SUCK

BALLS

 

They're more style over substance.
